Henry Big Boy Case Hardened | .357 Mag | 20″ | H012GMCC

The Henry Big Boy Color Case Hardened Side Gate is a full-size lever-action rifle chambered for .357 Magnum/.38 Special with a 20″ octagon blued barrel and a color case-hardened steel receiver. It uses a side-loading gate paired with a removable tubular magazine and features American walnut furniture with checkering and a black solid rubber recoil pad. For an optic under $1,000 that complements the rifle’s hunting and target roles, consider a mid-power variable such as the Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 for extended precision or a Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9×40 for low- to mid-range work.
