The Henry Repeating Arms Bear's Leg is built around a 13.8" round blued steel barrel with a 1:20" twist rate, 5/8x24 threaded muzzle, and drilled and tapped receiver ready for Weaver 63B optic mounting without additional gunsmith work. A transfer bar safety provides reliable passive drop protection while maintaining the smooth, classic lever-action feel that Henry is known for delivering across its full lineup. The blued steel barrel and receiver deliver a traditional, corrosion-resistant finish well-suited to hard field and backcountry use.
This compact .45-70 Gov lever-action pistol features a black synthetic fixed stock with pistol grip that provides a durable, weather-resistant handling solution well-suited to demanding outdoor environments. Fiber optic front and adjustable fiber optic rear sights give shooters a bright, fast aiming system for quick target acquisition at hunting distances. At 6.59 lbs with a 25.10" overall length, the Bear's Leg strikes a practical balance between compact pistol-format dimensions and the power and capacity of the .45-70 Government cartridge.
Henry Repeating Arms has built its reputation on producing classic, well-made American firearms that every enthusiast can afford, embodying its motto of "Made in America, Or Not Made At All." The Bear's Leg continues that tradition with a purpose-built compact lever-action platform that delivers the proven stopping power of .45-70 Government in a threaded, optic-ready package.
