Description
The Henry Golden Boy .22 Lever Action is a classic rimfire rifle built for plinking, small game hunting, and introducing new shooters to the lever-action platform. With its polished brass receiver and American walnut stock, it offers traditional aesthetics without sacrificing modern reliability. We started stocking this model in early 2026, and it has consistently been one of our top-selling .22 rifles. We maintain a deep inventory because demand is steady and backorders can be problematic.
