# Henry Big Boy Brass .30-30 Lever Rifle - Large Loop Precision **Brand:** Henry **Category:** Lever-Action Rifles **Caliber:** .30-30 Winchester ## Specifications - **Caliber:** .30-30 Winchester - **Barrel Length:** 20" - **Capacity:** 5 rounds - **Finish:** Blued - **Weight:** 132.8 oz - **Overall Length:** 39" - **UPC:** 619835090195 - **SKU:** UCAuZos0R ## Description The Henry Big Boy Side Gate in .30-30 WIN is a lever-action rifle with a 20-inch octagon-profile barrel, polished brass receiver, and American walnut stock. The side gate allows loading from the right side of the receiver in addition to the traditional tube magazine loading. ### Key Specifications - **Caliber:** .30-30 WIN - **Action:** Lever Action - **Capacity:** 5+1 rounds - **Barrel Length:** 20 inches - **Overall Length:** 39 inches - **Weight:** 8.3 lbs - **Twist Rate:** 1:12 - **Receiver Finish:** Brass - **Stock Material:** American Walnut ### Features The octagon barrel adds mass that helps stability and gives the rifle its traditional look alongside the brass receiver. Sights are an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front, both well-suited to typical lever-action shooting distances. The transfer bar safety prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed. The large lever loop provides easier operation for shooters wearing gloves. ### Use Cases The .30-30 Win cartridge is a proven deer cartridge in wooded or brushy terrain where shots rarely exceed 150 yards. The side gate loading system speeds up topping off without fully unloading the magazine first, which is useful in a hunting context. At 8.3 lbs it's on the heavier end for a lever action, but the weight helps tame felt recoil. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What caliber is the Henry Big Boy Brass 30-30 Lever?** A: It is chambered in .30-30 Winchester. **Q: Who makes the 30-30 Lever?** A: Henry Repeating Arms makes this rifle. **Q: What is the barrel length of the Henry Big Boy Brass 30-30 Lever?** A: It has a 20-inch octagon-profile barrel. **Q: How many rounds does the Henry Big Boy Brass 30-30 Lever hold?** A: It has a 5+1 capacity. **Q: What type of firearm is the Henry Big Boy Brass 30-30 Lever?** A: It is a lever-action rifle with a polished brass receiver and American walnut stock. **Q: Does the Henry Big Boy Brass 30-30 Lever have a side gate?** A: Yes.
