Henry's Golden Boy is a lever-action.22 that looks like a rifle out of an old Western, and this Eagle Scout Tribute 2nd Edition, model H004ES2, goes further with engraving. It has a 20-inch octagon barrel, a 16+1 capacity and an engraved nickel-plated receiver, stock and forearm. It fires.22 Short, Long and Long Rifle.

A tube magazine under the barrel holds sixteen rounds of.22 LR, which is a lot of plinking. The lever action is smooth, and the octagon barrel gives the rifle a classic profile. Cowboy-style shooters and collectors enjoy lever.22s because they are light, fun and gentle on the shoulder.

The tribute finish makes this a showpiece, and at about twelve hundred forty dollars it costs more than a standard Golden Boy. It would suit a collector, a gift for a scout family or a rifle to hang on the wall and shoot on weekends.

A lever.22 is good for squirrels and tin cans. Clean the tube magazine now and then, and use quality ammunition for smooth feeding. This rifle is new. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for the background check and transfer.
