Henry Side Gate Lever Action RIfle 30-30 Winchester 20" Barrel 5 Round Capacity American Walnut Stock Brass Receiver / Blued Barrel
Henry's Side Gate Lever Action offers up the best of both worlds with a standard removable tube magazine for safe and easy unloading and a side loading gate to keep the magazine topped off. The hardened brass receiver is as reliable as it is handsome with the same yield and tensile strength as steel. The brass accents continue through the rifle with the buttplate and barrel band. Its American walnut furniture is set off by intricate, deep checkering that will ensure a firm purchase on the stocks. A semi-buckhorn rear and ivory bead front sight accompanies a 20" round blued steel barrel to deliver the accuracy. From whitetail hunting to days at the range, to standing as a favorite show-piece in the gun cabinet, the Side Gate Lever Action is a must-have for any lever action aficionado, and it solidifies Henry as the first name in lever action rifles.

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 30-30 Winchester (30 Winchester Center Fire or WCF) was introduced in Winchester's John Browning-designed Model 1894. The rifle was intended for smokeless powder…but the first smokeless powder sporting cartridges, the 30-30 and 25-35, weren't ready for release until 1895. Its "30-30" designation meant ".30-caliber, 30 grains of powder." This is a carryover from blackpowder designations, but 30 grains of smokeless powder gave the 30-30 unprecedented velocity for its day. The 30-30 quickly became America's gold-standard deer cartridge--and despite the many faster cartridges now available, it remains a very effective deer cartridge out to perhaps 150 yards. It has been chambered in single-shots and bolt-actions, but its traditional home is the tubular-magazine lever-action...which requires very blunt-nosed bullets, the lone exception being Hornady's FTX with a compressible polymer tip. All major manufacturers offer 30-30 ammuntion, and rifles are available from multiple sources. — Craig Boddington
