Ledegolden And Big Boy Dead Eye Revolvers

Henry Repeating Arms has announced the addition of two new revolver variants, the H16 Golden Boy Deadeye Revolver and the H17 Big Boy Deadeye Revolver, created in direct response to feedback from Henry owners and enthusiasts. Built on the same foundation as the standard Golden Boy and Big Boy revolvers, the new Deadeye models feature upgraded sights that enhance accuracy for target shooting and plinking.

The Deadeye revolvers retain the traditional double-action, materials and craftsmanship from the base models, while adding a fully adjustable rear notch sight and a high-visibility fiber-optic front sight. This sighting system allows users to fine-tune their point of impact and acquire targets quickly across a wide range of lighting conditions.

The H16 Golden Boy Deadeye Revolver holds 10 rounds of .22 Short, Long or Long Rifle, and features a deeply blued and polished steel frame, genuine American walnut grips, and a polished brass backstrap and trigger guard. The H17 Big Boy Deadeye Revolver holds 6 rounds and is chambered for .357 Magnum or .38 Special, making it a natural companion to Henry's H6 Big Boy lever-action rifles.

Both models are available with a choice of Gunfighter-style grips for enhanced control or Birdshead-style grips for a more compact feel. Each revolver features a smooth double-action and crisp single-action trigger, a 4-inch round-profile barrel, and a quick-takedown cylinder system activated by a switch inside the trigger guard that simplifies cleaning and maintenance.

"Listening to our customers is paramount to how we build firearms and decide what's coming next," said Anthony Imperato, founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. "The Deadeye revolvers directly reflect what our customers asked for. They wanted the same revolvers they already enjoy, with more functionality in the sights, and that's exactly what these new models deliver."

The H16 Golden Boy Deadeye Revolver and H17 Big Boy Deadeye Revolver are Made in America and backed by Henry's Lifetime Warranty. For more information, visit henryusa.com.
