The short barrel and low weight make it easy to carry and swing onto target. The classic lever-action mechanics get high marks for smoothness, and the .45 Colt caliber is seen as a good balance of power and manageable recoil. The most common complaints are weight for extended carry days (some find even 6.6 lbs tiring over miles of rough terrain) and the 7-round capacity, which is lower than semi-automatic alternatives. A handful of owners mention wanting more aftermarket customization options. Overall the feedback is positive, with the craftsmanship and heritage Henry is known for being the main appeal. ## Pricing **1 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Guns Com | $1100.99 | ## Similar Products - [Henry Big Boy Carbine .45 Colt 16.5" Lever Action - Side Gate](https://gunsnation.com/p/henry-big-boy-carbine-45-colt-16-5-lever-action-side-gate/UCAuZpKes) - [Henry Big Boy Steel .45 Colt Lever Rifle, 20" Barrel](https://gunsnation.com/p/henry-big-boy-steel-45-colt-lever-rifle-20-barrel/UCAuZpKZh) - [Henry Big Boy Steel Carbine: .327 Magnum, 16.5" Barrel, 7+1 Cap](https://gunsnation.com/p/henry-big-boy-steel-carbine-327-magnum-16-5-barrel-7-1-cap/UCAuZpKbu) - [Henry Big Boy Silver .45 Colt Lever Action Rifle - Classic Performer](https://gunsnation.com/p/henry-big-boy-silver-45-colt-lever-action-rifle-classic-performer/UCAuZokEh) - [Henry Big Boy .45 Colt Lever-Action Rifle - Walnut & Brass Classic](https://gunsnation.com/p/henry-big-boy-45-colt-lever-action-rifle-walnut-brass-classic/UCAuZok9W) - [Henry Big Boy .45 Colt Color Case Hardened Carbine, 16.5" Barrel](https://gunsnation.com/p/henry-big-boy-45-colt-color-case-hardened-carbine-16-5-barrel/UCAuZpKcg) --- *Data from [GunsNation](https://gunsnation.com)*
