Accuracy

The Henry Big Boy is known for its accuracy and reliability. The 1:28 inch rifled barrel ensures that a spin is put on the bullets to provide even more accuracy over longer distances. The 15.1" trim barrel also helps produce the necessary backspin on the bullet for greater consistency and accuracy. This is further enhanced by the adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and the beaded front sight to ensure it can acquire targets with a high degree of accuracy. The solid top receiver is milled from a solid steel block and is integral to the top-notch accuracy of the rifle. A layer of rust protection comes with the rifle to protect it from the elements. All of these features together make the Henry Big Boy an incredibly accurate firearm that can withstand rigorous hunting use.
