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.
