If you’re a target shooter, a hunter, or a collector, this limited edition (one of only a thousand) lever action rifle is for you! Designed to perform in the field without sacrificing aesthetics, this Henry rifle has the looks and performance to match. This beautifully finished rifle features a polished and engraved brass receiver and an attractive 24.5-inch blued steel octagonal barrel equipped with a folding ladder rear sight and a blade front sight, ensuring a good sight picture.

What really sets this limited edition beauty apart from other mere lever action rifles is that it features a n engraving design that was inspired by an early Henry rifle that was engraved in the style of the legendary Samuel J. Hoggson in or around 1862. This style was chosen for this edition by the President of Baron Technologies, Inc. (BTI), David Baron, and the pattern is expertly executed by master engraver Rob Bunting (of BTI), with assistance from engraver Seth Karlak and artist Catarina Pech. The classic American scroll pattern is cut, not molded, and hand-chased. Topping off this limited edition classic is a fancy American walnut stock with a brass buttplate.

Henry Repeating Arms generously donated this firearm to the NRA Foundation, the country’s leading charitable organization in support of the shooting sports. Foundation grants provide essential funding to ensure the availability of quality training and educational opportunities nationwide. Grants benefit programs such as youth and women’s education, hunter awareness, range conservation, firearms and marksmanship training and safety, and much more.

Bids for this firearm are now being accepted, and will be accepted until 9:00 pm on Thursday, April 25.
