[SHOT 2020] FIRST LOOK: New Henry X Rifle : Side Gate With a Suppressor

Since the original concept gun of Henry’s X series debuted at NRAAM 2018, interest has been so high that Henry made the X Series a reality. One notable improvement in the receiver of the production Henry X Rifles is they all have a King’s gate. Chambered in .357/38, 44mag/spl, ..45 Colt, 45-70 and .410, these are the first rifles from Henry to be chambered in pistol calibers with a side loading gate. All X models have threaded barrels (The .410 is threaded for removable chokes).

Though Henry typically does not come to SHOT show, they sprinkled a few X Series rifles around to exhibitors, and sent out an announcement the first morning of the floor show. Team TFB was on it, and ran into a handsome .45-70 chambered Henry X at SilencerCo’s booth.

BAYONNE, NJ – January 21, 2020 – Henry Repeating Arms, the leading lever action firearms manufacturer, is introducing a highly anticipated new product line today with the X Model series, a concept that was first teased at the 2018 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Dallas, TX. All the firearms included in this new product launch are designed from the ground up to bring unparalleled versatility and utility to not only Henry’s line of rifles and shotguns, but the lever action platform in general. All five models are now available nationwide from licensed firearms dealers with an MSRP across the board of $970.00.

Personally, this author is most excited about the Big Boy X models. Chambered in powerful, yet common revolver calibers with a medium loop, pistol grip synthetic stock, and matte receiver, and the ability to easily mount accessories, these will make a wonderful (and quiet) hunting gun you won’t mind getting dirty. Time to upgrade my stamp game. Well played, Henry.
