This week, we're taking a look at the Henry Lever Action X Model. A modernized lever gun, this rifle comes equipped with a threaded muzzle, Picatinny rail and most notably, matte-black synthetic stocks. With a slightly enlarged, rounded lever to ease cycling, the X Model would make for a great brush gun, a dedicated deer or hog rifle, or even a big-game getter. For more information on this quintessentially American, field-ready rifle, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Digital Associate Editor, David Herman.

Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
