When the Henry Golden Boy American Rodeo Tribute Edition was first released, there was a sense of excitement and anticipation that spread throughout the firearms community. Although a few skeptics remained, the overwhelmingly positive reviews and customer feedback made this limited edition release one of the most sought after rifles in recent memory.
The Henry Golden Boy American Rodeo Tribute Edition is an aesthetically pleasing rifle with a classic Americana look and feel. It features a unique checkered design, an engraved stock, and a painted finish that takes its cues from the American West. The rifle features a 22-inch blued octagonal barrel, a grooved receiver, and is chambered in a standard .22LR caliber.
In terms of performance, the rifle delivers on all fronts. It is reliable, reliable, and accurate. The first time I took it to the shooting range, I was pleasantly surprised by its ability to stay on point and land consistent shots at target. As expected, it was incredibly lightweight and easy to maneuver, which can be attributed to the high quality construction and nitrided steel barrel.
For a notably budget rifle, the Henry Golden Boy American Rodeo Tribute Edition is surprisingly durable and well made. The action is smooth and the trigger pull is light. All of the metal parts are well finished and the walnut stock wood is very pleasing to the eye. My only minor complaint would be that the sights are not adjustable, which can be a bit limiting, but not necessarily a deal breaker. All things considered, this is an excellent rifle that comes to life in the field.
Aside from its noteworthy performance, the Henry Golden Boy American Rodeo Tribute Edition is also an excellent value. With a MSRP of only $489, it’s one of the most pocket friendly rifles on the market, particularly for those looking for a limited edition gun. The rifle also includes a limited 1-year warranty and is backed by legendary customer service, which is always a plus.
Overall, the Henry Golden Boy American Rodeo Tribute Edition is a fantastic rifle that will no doubt please those looking for an affordable, reliable, and accurate rifle. From its attractive appearance to its excellent performance, this rifle offers a lot of bang for your buck and delivers when it counts.
