Detailed Features 

The engraving on the receiver is the primary visual distinction of this 3rd Edition. The polished Brasslite receiver paired with a blued barrel gives the rifle a two-tone appearance that reads as traditional. The 20.5-inch barrel and American walnut stock are standard Golden Boy spec, and the adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with brass bead front handle the sighting duties. .22 WMR provides more range and velocity than .22 LR, making it practical for varmint hunting at distances where .22 LR runs out of steam.

Golden Boy 3rd Edition owners in .22 WMR are largely happy. The engraving and Brasslite receiver draw consistent praise. It's a visually appealing rifle, and Henry's production quality on these editions holds up. The lever action is smooth from the start.

Performance with .22 WMR gets positive marks for accuracy, and owners appreciate the step up in range and terminal performance compared to .22 LR. The 12-round capacity is adequate for most uses.

The main discussion points are the price and the nostalgic/emotional factor. Some people buy the Golden Boy Deluxe specifically for the engraving and collector appeal; others weigh whether the premium over plainer .22 WMR rifles is worth it for their use. Those who want both a shooter and a display piece tend to feel it's a fair exchange.

Shoots nicely, though the finish scratches much too easily.
