Henry’s Wildlife Side Gate delivers classic lever-action performance in .45-70 Government, built right here in Wisconsin. The 18.43″ barrel pairs with an overall length of 37.50″, offering a compact yet capable platform for hunting and sport shooting.
This rifle features a blued metal finish matched to a walnut stock, with a 1:20″ rate of twist. The action carries a 4-round capacity, and the side gate loading mechanism provides convenient access without a detachable magazine or hinged floorplate. Factory sights come standard.
Construction highlights include checkering on the stock, a recoil pad, and swivel studs for sling mounting. The receiver is drilled and tapped to accept Weaver 63B bases, making optics mounting straightforward. An engraved receiver and large loop complete the rifle’s classic character.
At 7.08 pounds, the Wildlife Side Gate strikes a practical balance for hunters and sportsmen who demand a traditional lever-action in one of America’s most proven cartridges.
