Collectors and shooters alike watch Henry for special editions, and the Second Amendment Tribute Edition is one of the more visible. It is a Henry lever-action rifle dressed up with tribute markings, the kind of piece that looks as good over the mantel as it does in the field.

Henry has built its reputation on smooth actions, good fit and finish, and rifles that cycle clean with a short stroke. The brand's lever guns are used for plinking, small game, deer and general ranch work, depending on the model and cartridge. Spend an afternoon at the range with it before you count on it, so you know how it handles and where it shoots.

Walk into any gun counter and you will see why they sell. The brass or steel furniture, the wood stocks and the sharp engraving are what you notice first. A rifle like this makes a dependable gift, a commemorative piece for the family, or a showpiece that still shoots when you want it to.

It is sold new, with the usual Henry lever-action feel. The rifle ships to your local FFL dealer, who completes the background check before you take possession.
