Henry Big Boy Classic .327 Federal Magnum Lever Action

Henry Big Boy Classic .327 Federal Magnum

The Henry Big Boy Classic represents the finest in American lever-action rifle tradition. This rifle combines time-tested mechanical principles with quality craftsmanship to deliver a firearm equally at home on the range, in the hunting field, or in a collector's safe.

Design and Construction

The Big Boy features Henry's signature octagonal barrel, a design element that speaks to the rifle's heritage and provides a distinctive appearance. The barrel is finished in blued steel and measures 20 inches, offering excellent balance between sight radius and handling characteristics.

The receiver is crafted from polished hardened brass—a hallmark of Henry rifles—and is drilled and tapped for scope mounting using Henry's ScopeGen 2 mount system. The stock and forearm are constructed from select American walnut, providing both durability and aesthetic appeal. A brass barrel band and brass buttplate complete the classic look.

Sights and Accuracy

The rifle comes equipped with a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight featuring a reversible white diamond insert for quick target acquisition. The front sight is a traditional brass bead. These sights are suitable for hunting and target shooting at typical distances, and the drilled and tapped receiver allows for easy scope installation if desired.
