NRA Family | Tested: Henry Big Boy X Defensive Lever-Action Rifle

It's got that tacticool utility, with all the same lever-action reliability. What's not to love?

Me likey!

Henry—make one in .41!
(I’ll settle for .44, though...200gr .44 Special Silvertips would be a perfect stopper...and 210 Magnums I’d they aren’t...)

Yeah, that’s pretty nice. I like Henry rifles.

I like that gun also, but unfortunately I bought a Big Boy in .357 before they came out with this tactical version.

The Big Boy Classic in .357 is on my "wish list". The only thing I don't like about this new Big Boy X is that it cuts the capacity from 10 to 7 rounds.

The Big Boy in .357 with that octogonal barrel would keep me from wanting to shoot my 140ish year old Winchester 1873. And the ammo would be a heck of a lot easier to come by than .38-40 WCF, and I bet the Big Boy is lighter than the Winchester with its 24" octagonal barrel.
