Our Assessment: The Henry Repeating Arms H010G, chambered in the venerable .45-70 Government, melds traditional craftsmanship with modern updates, delivering a rifle that’s as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing. While Henry has been known for its top-loading tubular magazine designs, this particular model includes a side gate, allowing shooters to conveniently load the magazine without taking the rifle out of action. This is a true acknowledgment of user feedback, merging the best of old and new in lever-action design.
Constructed with an American Walnut stock and a 18.4-inch round barrel, the H010G is built for rugged reliability. Its frame is blued steel, a durable finish that adds an elegant look to the gun. The rifle’s capacity of 4 rounds makes it an excellent choice for hunting large game like deer, moose, or bear. The .45-70 cartridge itself is known for its stopping power and versatility, capable of taking down nearly any North American game at appropriate distances. For those who prefer optics, the H010G also comes drilled and tapped for easy scope mounting, a feature that doesn’t interfere with the fully adjustable buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front sight.
In a world where plastic and polymers are becoming more common in firearms construction, the Henry H010G stands out as a testament to American ingenuity and craftsmanship. With its powerful chambering and modern updates, this rifle isn’t just a tool for hunting or target shooting; it’s a piece of heritage that you’d be proud to pass down through generations.
