Henry Repeating Arms Steel Lever Action Side Gate .45-70 Govt. / 18.43" / 4+1 Lever Action Rifle
Originally standardized as a military caliber for the battlefields of the 1870s, the .45-70 Government has proven itself over nearly a century and a half and remains widely used in hunting camps across the country. When it comes to delivering a large piece of lead with high stopping power, there are few better choices than a Henry. With enough knockdown power to stop any North American game, the .45-70 started with a 405-grain lead bullet propelled by 70 grains of black powder. Later, a longer 500-grain load was added to increase effective range, while the original lighter cartridge continued to be used for cavalry carbines. Since then, this caliber has secured broad commercial support, and today there are everything from high-velocity, expanding 300-grain loads to 600-grain subsonic ammunition. The robust rimmed case ensures reliable feeding from tube magazines, while the moderate chamber pressure facilitates extraction. While the .45-70 was once available in numerous types of firearms, it has particularly excelled in lever-action rifles. The best example of this class of firearms is the Henry Steel Lever Action .45-70 Side Gate.
The model H010G is a relatively lightweight rifle at just about 3.2 kg (7 pounds), ideal for stalking. The ventilated rubber butt pad provides pleasant recoil. The matte blued steel receiver and the 18.4-inch round barrel are designed for functionality, while the beautifully checkered American walnut wood offers the classic look for which Henry is known. The pistol grip and the forearm with a steel cap are already equipped with sling swivel studs, allowing a rifle sling to be used for stabilization and better muzzle control. The side loading window allows for quick reloading or topping off the four-round tube magazine without losing sight of the target. Additionally, the original front-loading option remains available to safely unload the rifle without cycling cartridges through the system.
The adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with a brass bead front sight is particularly suited for quick shots, as are typical in wild boar hunting. At the same time, the receiver cover is prepared for easy scope mounting to enable precise shots at greater distances. Handy and powerful, this lever-action rifle offers quick follow-up shots on grizzlies and precise one-shot stops on whitetail deer alike. The Steel Lever Action .45-70 Side Gate impresses with stopping power, precision, and reliability at an unbeatable price—all in a classic design.
