The Henry Steel Wildlife Edition side gate rifle in .30-30 Win is a blued steel lever gun with enough engraving to set it apart and not enough shine to spook game (Henry part no. H009GWL). Its steel receiver carries a buck portrait on the right side and a leaping buck on the left, set in American leafy-vine scrollwork with 24K gold relief. A 20-inch round blued barrel, fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front sight give it traditional hunting lines. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope, and a side loading gate keeps the magazine topped off. This Henry Repeating Arms model is aimed at deer hunters who want a classic rifle with a little more style.

Key Specifications
