Made In America And Priced Right. Henry Repeating Arms takes its name from Benjamin Tyler Henry, the man who patented history's first repeating rifle in 1860. In honor of this iconic inventor, the modern day firearms manufacturer resurrected the Henry name in 1996 and currently produces their rifles in two different plants -- one located in Bayonne, New Jersey and the other in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.

Today, Henry ranks as the number five leading long-gun producer in the United States, quite an impressive accomplishment considering the company doesn't even produce shotguns, bolt action hunting guns or tactical firearms, but rather specializes in nostalgic lever and pump action rifles.

Inspired by the original Henry rifle, the .45-70 Steel is a Western style lever action centerfire capable of rapid, accurate shooting. Any fan of John Wayne will immediately recognize the profile and styling of this gun.

The rifle has a nice heft with a distinctive look popular among Old West enthusiasts. Owing to its huge popularity is the fact that the Henry is entirely made in the U.S.A. From the Northwoods to the Texas hill country and in every deer camp and lodge in between, the .30/30 remains the perennial choice of whitetail hunters.

It's a safe bet that in the past century, no other round has put more antlers on the wall and venison in the freezer than the .45-70. Loading is fairly straightforward -- simply twist the magazine cap and remove the inner brass magazine tube, then begin dropping rounds in through the loading port. Once fully loaded, replace the inner magazine tube and twist lock it back in place.

The Henry Lever Action .45-70 holds 5- rounds. A 22" round barrel has machined with state-of-the-art multiple groove rifling that provides excellent down range accuracy. A highly visible set of buckhorn sights are included that track extremely well and get on target fast. All steel parts, such as the barrel and lever, wear a durable hard chrome finish. Weighing in at 7 pounds, the rifle has a solid feel but is still fast handling.

The buttstock and forend are an oiled hardwood that give this rifle a very pleasing and stylish appearance.

While the Henry .45-70 Steel lacks a manual safety, it does have a have a half-cock safety that acts as a firing pin block, and works effectively at preventing the gun from discharging if dropped or banged. A transfer bar safety prevents the gun from being discharged unless the hammer has been cocked all the way back, then trigger depressed. The rifle automatically returns to the safe position if the hammer is lowered manually.

Should you choose to mount optics on the rifle later, the receiver has been drilled and tapped. For repair or maintenance, this family owned company arguably carries the best no nonsense lifetime warranty in the industry. Overall, the Henry .45-70 Steel is exceptionally smooth, accurate and reliable rifle made entirely here in the U.S.A. by craftsmen who take pride in their products.
