The Henry Wildlife Edition Side Gate .45-70 Govt (H010GWL) is a showpiece rifle with powerhouse capability, combining the heritage of the legendary .45-70 Government cartridge with artful American engraving and functional enhancements like a side loading gate and large loop lever.
Built for hunters and collectors alike, the 18.43″ round blued steel barrel offers a balance between maneuverability and ballistic performance. The 4-round tube magazine can be topped off easily thanks to the brass side loading gate, and safely unloaded via the removable inner magazine tube. Chambered in .45-70 Govt, this rifle is capable of taking down large game with authority.
The true visual highlight is the engraved hardened brass receiver, featuring high-detail North American wildlife scenes. Combined with the American walnut stock, engraved checkering, and brass buttplate, the rifle brings an heirloom feel to a fully functional hunting firearm.
The large loop lever adds a Western flair and accommodates gloved hands for cold-weather shooting. With its blend of power, beauty, and Henry’s famed reliability, the Wildlife Edition .45-70 is built to be used — and admired.
