Gun Review: Henry H024 Side Gate Lever Action (VIDEO)

By Kristin Alberts

The lever-action rifle has remained largely unchanged for decades. From an engineering perspective, some may say the design nears perfection. But spring 2019 will go down in history as the year cowboy action changed. Henry Repeating Arms has taken its nearly flawless design to complete lever-gun perfection. Feast your eyes on the Henry Side Gate Lever Action.
Adding a side loading gate – a popular feature on Winchester and Marlin lever-action rifles – marks a first for the Henry design. As Henry vice president Andy Wickstrom explained the decision was made in response to demand. “There has always been a customer segment that prefers a loading gate,” he said. “The new H024 Henry Side Gate features a loading gate as well as a removeable inner magazine tube. It is the best of both worlds.”
The H024 Henry Side Gate gives users the ability to load from both a side loading gate and a tube loading gate. More importantly, the feature puts Henry in the thick of competitive shooting. Heretofore, cowboy action shooters have been necessitated to opt for Winchesters, Marlins, or a variety of reproductions using the side gate for the ease of rapid fire reloads through the side gate.
