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.

Florida’s 2026 Second Amendment Sales Tax Holiday runs through December 31, eliminating sales tax on eligible firearms, ammunition, and hunting, fishing and camping equipment.
If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. 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.
