Designed to appeal to the fast-growing segment of the shooting sports, Henry Repeating Arms’ American Beauty .22 lever-action rifle is embellished with a 14K rose floral scroll and paisley engraving. 


Like all the rifles in Henry’s Golden Boy family, it features an American walnut stock, fully adjustable rear sight and beaded front sight, and an octagonal barrel. The buttplate and barrel band are silver. Drilled and tapped for easy scope mounting, it comes chambered in.22 S/L/LR, with a 15-round capacity in .22 LR and as much as 21 rounds of 22 Short.
