The Henry H12 Classic Large Loop .44 Magnum/.44 Special lever-action rifle (Henry Repeating Arms part no. H012GL) carries a larger lever loop that is easy to work with gloves on. Like the standard H12, it is a steel-framed rifle in matte blue with a 20-inch round blued barrel and genuine American walnut furniture. A side loading gate and removable tube magazine let you top off the rifle in the field and still unload it safely. The brass bead front sight and semi-buckhorn rear keep the classic lines, making it a good fit for cold-weather hunting and brush-country work.

Key Specifications

• The lever is a large loop, which leaves room for a gloved hand and is the feature that separates this model from the standard H12 Classic.
• The chambering is .44 Magnum/.44 Special, a pistol cartridge with manageable recoil for a 7-pound rifle.
• Magazine capacity is 10 rounds in the tube, enough for a full day of hunting or plinking.
• The barrel is a 20-inch round blued steel tube with a 1:20 rate of twist, long enough to make full use of the .44 Magnum case.
• A side loading gate allows topping off the magazine tube without taking the rifle off your shoulder.
• Overall length is 37.5 inches, a size that carries easily, and the rifle weighs 7.00 pounds.
• Sights are a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with a diamond insert and a brass bead front, familiar and fast to acquire.
• The stock is American walnut with a checkered straight grip, a 14-inch length of pull and a rubber recoil pad.
• The safety is a transfer bar system built into the action.
