Henry Repeating Arms recently announced their first-ever tribute-edition rifle for a U.S. state with the Texas Tribute Edition. A unique addition to their line-up, the company pays homage to the Lone Star State with its .22 S/L/LR lever action rifle built on Henry’s Golden Boy platform, featuring a 20” blued steel octagon barrel, a Brasslite receiver cover, a brass buttplate and barrel band, and fully adjustable sights.
The first of its kind was recently given to NASCAR Cup Series driver Kevin Harvick in celebration of his pole qualifying win before the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway! Not only that, but we’re pleased to say that one of our very own Texas Hill Country team members received the rifle for a review, after which he said it was “smooth as glass.” The most notable features of this firearm are the wood furniture finished with a deep black stain which provides a stark contrast to the gun’s gold highlights. As well, both sides of the rifle are studded with inlaid metal five-pointed stars, with four on the right side of the buttstock, and a lone star on the left of the buttstock. The forestock is embellished with the word “TEXAS,” engraved in a classic Western typeface and filled by hand with gold paint. The buttstock engraving also depicts the state of Texas filled with a “Lone Star Flag” motif, which is also hand-painted in gold.
