Henry has unveiled a new product line, which currently encompasses four new rifles and a lever-action shotgun. The X Model Series consists of: the Big Boy platform, chambered in .44 Mag./.44 Spl., .357 Mag./.38 Spl., and .45 Colt; a lever action .410-bore shotgun; and another rifle chambered in .45-70 Gov't. All five models sport durable and lightweight synthetic furniture, with a solid-rubber recoil pad on the pistol-gripped buttstock. Picatinny and M-Lok accessory slots dot the forend, along with integrated sling swivel studs for the easy attachment of a sling. X Model receivers are blued with a side-loading gate to feed the removable tube magazine, and muzzles are threaded with a 5/8X24 thread pitch, to accommodate a suppressor or other muzzle device. The shotgun's smooth-bore barrel, meanwhile, is threaded internally for a removable invector-style choke. While X Model receivers are drilled and tapped for an optics mount, should an optic not be desired, contrasting fiber-optic sights come standard on all models except the shotgun, which uses a solitary fiber-optic front sight.
