The Henry Golden Boy Youth in .22 is a Western style lever action rimfire rifle capable of rapid, accurate shooting. This youth version of the award winning Golden Boy has a shorter length of pull and a shorter barrel. The octagon barrel provides excellent down range accuracy. Adjustable rear Buckhorn sights are paired with a beaded front sight. All steel parts, such as the barrel and lever, wear a deep blued finish. The buttstock and forend on the Henry Golden Boy are American walnut that give the rifle a very pleasing and stylish appearance. The aluminum alloy receiver has a stunningly beautiful polished brass finish applied that the company refers to as "Brasslite", as do the buttplate and barrel band. This compact version is ideal for youngters who might find it much easier to handle. It has a great balance and makes it easy to be accurate during offhand shooting.
