The Henry Brass Wildlife Edition in .30-30 Winchester is a hardened brass deer rifle with a buck engraved on each side of the receiver (Henry part no. H009BGWL). The receiver is engraved with American vine scroll and a braided border, with the engraving black filled to bring out the detail. Fancy American walnut furniture, a polished brass receiver and an octagon barrel make it as much a campfire showpiece as a working hunting rifle. A side loading gate lets the tube be topped off without taking the rifle off the shoulder, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for an optional scope. It comes from Henry Repeating Arms, a maker that builds its firearms in the USA.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is .30-30 Winchester, the cartridge this model is built around.
• The barrel is 20-inch octagon blued steel, an octagon profile that keeps the traditional lever-gun look.
• A side loading gate lets the tube be topped off through the receiver, and the removable tube allows safe unloading.
• The receiver finish is polished hardened brass, a solid brass frame in the traditional Big Boy style.
• The receiver carries deer engraving, a buck’s head on the right and a leaping buck on the left.
• Overall length is 39 inches, balanced for carrying afield and shooting offhand.
• Unloaded weight is about 8.30 pounds, which settles the gun on target without feeling heavy.
• Sights are a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with a diamond insert paired with a brass bead front sight, a traditional buck-and-bead setup.
• The safety is a transfer bar, which keeps the firing pin from touching a cartridge unless the trigger is pulled.
