Walnut and blued steel on a lever action shotgun makes it look like a classic rifle. The Henry Side Gate is chambered in .410 for 2-1/2 inch shells, with a 19.8 inch barrel. A side gate makes loading easy, with no need to feed shells through the end of the tube.

The short barrel is quick and light. The lever action is smooth, and the .410 recoil is mild. It is a good fit for a ranch gun, a garden gun or a young hunter's first shotgun.

Birds, rabbits and pests around the barn are what a .410 is for. Close range shots with a good pattern are the rule. Test your loads on paper so you know how the gun shoots.

Walnut makes it a handsome piece. If you plan to carry it in the weather, wipe it down and keep it oiled.

The side gate is a convenient feature. You can top off the magazine between shots without taking your eyes off the field.

The listing is new. The price is in the premium range. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
