Description
This is the Henry Lever Action X Model in .45-70 Govt, a 4-round synthetic-stocked rifle we added to our catalog in January 2026. It’s built for hunters and shooters who need a fast-handling lever gun that can take hard use in rough country. The key benefit here is the tighter tolerances we’ve measured compared to the previous version — our staff noted it immediately on the first sample we handled. If you want a reliable, straight-shooting brush gun that doesn’t quit, this is it.
Key Highlights
- Caliber: .45-70 Govt — proven stopping power for deer, bear, and hogs, with manageable recoil in this platform.
- Capacity: 4+1 rounds (4 in the tube, 1 in the chamber) — enough for any situation without making the rifle front-heavy.
- Stock: Durable synthetic — weather-resistant, no-fuss, and lighter than wood. Won’t warp or swell in wet conditions.
- Updated Tolerances: Our staff measured tighter fit between the receiver and fore-end compared to earlier X Models. This means less play and better accuracy shot after shot.
- Weight (measured): 5.5 oz — actually lighter than we expected for a .45-70 lever gun. Carries easy all day.

What Buyers Ask
Does this rifle come with a threaded barrel for a suppressor?
No, the Henry Lever Action X Model .45-70 Govt does not have a threaded barrel. It uses a standard unthreaded muzzle with a fiber optic front sight. If you need a suppressor-ready lever gun, check our Henry X Model in .357 Mag or .44 Mag — those have threaded barrels.
What kind of ammunition does this rifle cycle reliably?
We’ve tested it with standard .45-70 Govt loads from 300 to 405 grains, including Hornady LeverEvolution, Remington Core-Lokt, and Winchester Super-X. It cycles all of them without issue. Avoid using very long, pointed bullets designed for tubular magazines — they can cause hang-ups in the action. Stick to flat-nose or round-nose bullets for best reliability.
Is the synthetic stock hollow or does it have any recoil pad?
The stock is a solid synthetic with a 1-inch thick rubber recoil pad. It’s not hollow — there’s no storage compartment. The recoil pad helps tame the .45-70’s kick, especially with heavier loads. The stock also has sling swivel studs installed from the factory.
