Experience 19th-Century Craftsmanship

The .45-70 Government first appeared in 1873 as a black powder cartridge for the US Army, and it quickly outclassed the older .50-70 in range and accuracy. Henry Repeating Arms keeps that heritage alive with lever action rifles that hunters still trust. The straight-walled cartridge hits hard enough for elk, bear, and boar, and the heavy bullet holds its line through thick brush. A lighter bullet can help reduce recoil, while heavier hollow points and options like Buffalo Bore are designed for hunters looking to maximize performance.

Each .45-70 pairs big-bore power with refined details. Adjustable open sights combine a semi-buckhorn design with a brass bead for a clear aiming picture, while a thick recoil pad helps soften the kick. Newer models pair a side gate for easier loading with a lever action design that allows for smooth cycling and fast follow-up shots. For added versatility, the X Model's Picatinny rail accepts optics like a scope or red dot.
