Detailed Features 

 
The nickel-plated receiver has engraving specific to the 2nd Amendment Tribute model. The blued octagon barrel contrasts with the receiver nickel finish. American walnut stock is stained and polished. The lever cycles smoothly and the 16-round tube magazine gives a good number of shots before reloading. The adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight works for both target and field use without needing to swap out components. 
 

Usage 

 
This rifle works for plinking, small game hunting, and collecting. The .22 LR caliber means low cost per round and minimal recoil. The engraving and nickel finish also make it a display piece for anyone who values the aesthetic side of rimfire lever guns.

The Golden Boy Tribute pulls in positive feedback on two fronts: it shoots well and it looks good. The lever action is consistently described as smooth, and accuracy at range is solid for a .22 LR. The nickel and walnut combination gets attention from collectors who appreciate the engraving details.

The rifle's low recoil makes it approachable for newer shooters, and several owners mention passing it around at the range without hesitation.

The main criticism is price. Some buyers feel the premium over a standard Henry is steep, and a few point out that the nickel finish requires care to avoid scratching. Neither criticism dominates the conversation. Most owners are satisfied with what they paid for.
