HENRY STEEL WILDLIFE EDITION .45-70 LEVER RIFLE

SERIAL NUMBER: WFFS0559WL. BARREL: 18". CALIBER: .45-70. The Henry Steel Wildlife Edition .45-70 Gov't is a trim powerhouse built to balance heirloom-quality artistry with rugged field performance. Infused with the spirit of the American wild frontier, this specialized model utilizes a deeply polished blued steel receiver as a canvas for striking 24-karat gold relief artistry. It provides a stunning, high-contrast display without the high-gloss reflection of a brass frame, making it equally suited for a collector's display or an active big-game hunt. The left side of the receiver proudly showcases a detailed profile engraving of a bear within an oval setting, representing the heavy, formidable game that this hard-hitting cartridge is built to handle. On the right side, a matching gold relief portrait captures a moose head in deep detail. The entire remaining space on both panels is elegantly filled with interlocking American leafy-vine scrollwork, clean accent lines, and braided outer borders, all beautifully highlighted with selective gold inlay. Mechanically, the rifle features a 18" round blued steel barrel fitted with a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and a tall brass bead front sight. To deliver the best of modern convenience and classic function, it is built with a side loading gate for quick magazine top-offs on the fly, while retaining Henry's traditional removable inner tube magazine for fast, safe unloading. A large loop lever allows for split-second follow-up shots, even when cycling the action with heavy hunting gloves. The premium furniture is cut from high-grade, straight-wristed Fancy American Walnut and features deep, intricate checkering on both the pistol grip and the fore-end to ensure a non-slip purchase in harsh weather. Given the significant recoil generated by the heavy .45-70 Government round, the buttstock is thoughtfully capped with a ventilated black rubber recoil pad to soften the impact on your shoulder. Weighing in at 7 pounds with an overall length of 39", the rifle comes factory drilled and tapped for easy scope mounting. CONDITION: excellent. The bore is bright with sharp rifling. Operates normally. MODERN
