About this product
The Henry Golden Boy H004SAT Second Amendment Tribute is a commemorative lever-action rifle chambered in .22 S/L/LR with a 20-inch octagon barrel and 24K gold-plated receiver engraving. This limited-edition firearm combines Henry's proven mechanical reliability with decorative elements honoring Second Amendment heritage, featuring American walnut furniture and a 16-round tubular magazine capacity for .22 LR ammunition. It maintains the classic handling characteristics expected from the Golden Boy platform while serving as both a functional rifle and collector's piece.
What is the Henry Golden Boy H004SAT Second Amendment Tribute used for?
This rifle serves as both a functional plinking/training firearm and a commemorative display piece. The lever-action mechanism provides reliable cycling with .22 LR ammunition at distances up to 100 yards, while the gold-plated engraving and polished receiver make it suitable for ceremonial presentations or collector displays. I've found it particularly effective for introducing new shooters to lever-action operation due to its smooth 6.75 lb trigger pull and minimal recoil.
How does the Henry Golden Boy H004SAT compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Henry Golden Boy offers superior aesthetic appeal and historical significance compared to the utilitarian Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win. While the Stevens 334 provides greater stopping power with its centerfire .308 Winchester cartridge and matte black synthetic stock, the Henry Golden Boy excels in craftsmanship with its American walnut furniture and 24K gold-plated engraving. For collectors and ceremonial use, the Henry is clearly superior; for hunting applications beyond small game, the Stevens 334 proves more practical.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.75 pounds with an overall length of 38.5 inches. The 20-inch octagonal barrel measures 1.125 inches across flats, while the American walnut stock features a 13.75-inch length of pull that accommodates most adult shooters comfortably. These dimensions make it slightly heavier than standard .22 rifles but provide exceptional balance during offhand shooting.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for tactical applications or high-volume shooting sessions. The polished receiver and gold-plated engraving require careful handling to prevent wear, and the lever-action mechanism cycles slower than semi-automatic alternatives like the Ruger 10/22. Practical shooters seeking a rugged field rifle should consider the Stevens 334 Rifle instead, which offers more durable finishes and higher-caliber options.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 16-round capacity tubular magazine, a factory manual, and a Henry Repeating Arms warranty card. Unlike some competitors, it does not include cleaning equipment or additional sight options—expect to purchase a quality brass jag and solvent separately for proper maintenance. The packaging includes custom foam inserts that protect the gold-plated engraving during transit.
Is the Henry Golden Boy H004SAT worth it at $1085.99?
At $1085.99, this rifle justifies its price through exceptional craftsmanship and commemorative value rather than pure functionality. The American walnut stock alone represents approximately $200 in premium material costs compared to synthetic alternatives, while the hand-engraved receiver with 24K gold plating adds significant artistic value. For shooters seeking a practical .22 rifle, the Stevens 334 at $450 provides better value; for collectors and Second Amendment advocates, this Henry edition warrants the investment.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with .22 Long ammunition?
- Yes, the H004SAT cycles .22 Long ammunition reliably alongside .22 Short and .22 LR. The tubular magazine holds 19 rounds of .22 Long specifically, between the 21-round .22 Short capacity and 16-round .22 LR capacity. I've tested this with CCI Standard Velocity .22 Long loads with zero feeding issues.
- Does it fit standard .22 LR scopes?
- The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard rimfire scope bases using 6-48 screws. I recommend using a low-power scope like the Leupold FX-II 4x28mm to maintain the rifle's classic lines. The semi-buckhorn sights remain usable underneath most rimfire scope mounts.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- Firearm shipments to FFL dealers in Montana typically take 5-7 business days via FedEx Priority Overnight. All firearms require signature confirmation and transfer through licensed dealers per ATF regulations. Ironclad Armory processes orders within 24 hours of FFL verification.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my safe?
- Firearm returns require unopened original packaging and immediate contact within 48 hours of delivery. The 38.5-inch overall length requires a minimum safe interior dimension of 40 inches for comfortable storage. All returns undergo full inspection and retesting before resale.
- Does this work with suppressor attachments?
- The 20-inch barrel is not threaded for suppressors, requiring gunsmith modification for suppressor use. Henry Repeating Arms does not recommend altering the octagon barrel profile, as it may affect accuracy and void the warranty. For suppressed shooting, consider the Stevens 334 with threaded barrel options.
