Henry's Wildlife Edition side-gate lever action in .45-70 Government features an 18.43" blued steel barrel, fancy American walnut stock with deep checkering, and a removable tube magazine with convenient side loading gate.
The Henry Wildlife Edition represents the modern evolution of the classic lever-action rifle. This .45-70 Government rifle combines traditional aesthetics with practical features that appeal to both hunters and collectors.
The rifle features Henry's innovative side-gate loading system, which allows you to top off the magazine without removing the tube—a genuine convenience in the field. The removable tube magazine ensures safe, easy unloading when needed. The large loop lever accommodates gloved hands and provides smooth, reliable cycling.
The fancy American walnut furniture is finished with intricate, deep checkering on the fore-end and grip, ensuring a secure hold in any weather condition. An engraved receiver with 24-karat gold inlay adds distinctive character without compromising function.
A fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with diamond insert pairs with a brass bead front sight for reliable aiming. The rifle is drilled and tapped for Weaver scope mounts (63B), allowing easy installation of modern optics for extended-range shooting.
This rifle excels for hunting large game—deer, bear, hogs, moose, and elk—at ranges to 100 yards. Its balanced profile and manageable recoil make it equally suitable for target shooting and as a collector's piece.
