Description A Lever Action Scout Rifle in .45-70 from Henry Repeating Arms The scout rifle concept was introduced in the 1980’s and quickly became a popular platform among hunters and recreational shooters. Henry Repeating Arms conceived the idea of making a lever-action rifle that includes some of the scout rifle concepts, but increases the ammunition type to the hard-hitting .45-70 Government cartridge. The All-Weather Picatinny Rail .45-70 Side Gate lever-action rifle includes an extended Picatinny rail that allows the user to mount a scope further forward, offering a wider degree of peripheral vision to the shooter. This All-Weather rifle has specially treated hardwood furniture and a satin hard chrome plated finish on most of the metal surfaces to ensure this rifle can withstand adverse weather conditions. A large loop lever makes cycling the action easier, and the addition of a side loading gate allows you to quickly top off the rifle’s ammo on the fly. If you need a lever action scout style rifle that packs a serious punch, the Henry All-Weather Picatinny Rail .45-70 Side Gate rifle should be at the top of your wish list.
