Detailed Features 

• Octagonal Barrel: The traditional octagonal profile is standard across the Golden Boy line. It's stiffer than a round contour at equivalent weight. 
   
• Adjustable Semi-Buckhorn Rear Sight with Brass Bead Front: A practical pairing for the typical .22 rimfire shooting distances. The rear sight adjusts for windage and elevation. 
   
• Hammer Safety: Traditional half-cock position provides a safe carry condition. 
   
• Drilled and Tapped Receiver: Accepts standard scope mount bases for those who want to add optics. 
   
  The nickel-plated receiver carries the EMS engraving with gold-plated accent details. The walnut stock has a straight grip profile consistent with the Henry lever-action lineup.

The EMS Tribute Edition draws particularly strong interest from current and former EMS personnel, as well as from people who want to honor the profession. The nickel finish and EMS engraving are consistently described as well-executed and high-quality for a production tribute rifle.

As a functioning .22 LR lever-action, the Golden Boy platform is well-regarded: smooth cycling, reliable feeding, and good accuracy for target shooting and small-game use. The light weight and manageable recoil make it easy to shoot for extended sessions, and new shooters adapt to the lever mechanism quickly.

Collectibility is central to many purchase decisions. Buyers frequently mention the rifle as a gift for EMS professionals or as part of a Henry tribute series collection. Many also note that the low cost of .22 LR ammunition makes it practical to actually shoot rather than just display.

Reliability comes up positively in most reviews. The Henry name carries a consistent reputation for quality control and warranty service.

Price is a recurring discussion. Most buyers feel the finish quality and tribute significance justify the premium over standard Henry rimfire models, though some compare it to functional-only alternatives at lower price points.
