Henry Golden Boy Rifle

NRAHuntersRights.org

Fairfax, VA--(Ammoland.com)- During the month of July, visit www.NRAhuntersrights.org for a chance to win a truly elegant yet dependable firearm that will stand up to years of use—a Henry Golden Boy.

The excellent fit, finish and overall design elegance of Henry’s Golden Boy make it a testament to fine gunsmithing. The Golden Boy’s 20-inch blued octagonal barrel, American walnut stock, adjustable buckhorn-type rear sight, brass buttplate, and gleaming Brasslite receiver transport you back to the days of America’s Old West, when company founder Benjamin Tyler Henry designed the original Henry lever action rifle.

The Golden Boy offered for the giveaway is a .22 S/L/LR and will handle 16 .22 LRs. It’s also available in .22 Magnum and .17 HMR. Small game hunters and plinkers will appreciate the excellent balance afforded by the Golden Boy and its comfortable 6 ¾-pound weight; the Henry’s famously smooth lever action opens and shuts with effortless slickness. As Henry says, this rifle is made in America and priced right, retailing for $515.

Henry Big Boy .45 Cal Rifle

Friends of NRA

FAIRFAX, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- A historical first took place on June 4, 2010, when a Friends of NRA event was held at the Henry Repeating Arms manufacturing facility in Bayonne, New Jersey.

In addition to opening his facility to Friends of NRA, Anthony Imperato, owner and president of the family-owned Henry Repeating Arms, made numerous donations to the program. Keynote speaker Cam Edwards of NRA News was one of the many highlights of the evening. Escorted by a camera crew, Cam and his company filmed the special events during the banquet and secured several interviews with those who were in attendance.

The fun filled event featured both silent and live auctions, as well as raffles and games. Attendees were treated to watching a Henry Big Boy .45 cal rifle be assembled while Henry employees described the precision process. Once completed, the Limited Edition One of One firearm was then donated to the event and was sold in the live auction.

In recognition of hosting this amazing event as well as the Henry family tradition of supporting the shooting sports, Friends of NRA presented a special one of a kind Henry rifle by Baron Engraving to Henry Repeating Arms.

Friends of NRA is a grassroots fund-raising program that fosters community involvement, raises money, and gives 100% of the net proceeds to qualified local, state, and national programs. Working with the NRA’s field staff, thousands of volunteers nationwide participate in the program by organizing committees and planning events in their communities.

FAIRFAX, Va. --(AmmoLand.com)- For the month of May, NRAhuntersrights.org is holding a double gift giveaway, and one lucky winner will take home a Henry Lever Action Youth Model .22 and a fly rod from Temple Fork Outfitters.

The Henry youth .22 is a lightweight, compact version of Henry’s famous lever action rifle.

This rifle weighs just 4 1/2 pounds with an overall length of 33 inches and a 13-inch length of pull, making it ideal for young hunters or adults who desire a compact rifle in the field. The gun also features an American walnut stock, fully adjustable rear sight, 12-round capacity, and the famously smooth Henry action. The rifle is already grooved for a scope and comes with a gun case.

Suggested retail price is $325. To learn more about Henry Repeating Arms Co., a major supporter of NRA Youth Programs, or to get a free copy of Henry’s color catalog, visit www.henryrifles.com.

If your summer outdoor plans have you headed for a trout stream, our second gift, a 5 weight, 9-foot fly rod from Temple Fork Outfitters, will get you set for rainbows in the Appalachians or cutthroat in the Rockies. The fly rod is part of Temple Fork Outfitters’ Fly Rod Chronicles (FRC) Series and was designed by Curtis Fleming, host of Fly Rod Chronicles on The Sportsman Channel. FRC rods are designed for pin-point accuracy for the technical angler, yet have a forgiving tip to help beginners improve their casting ability. The rod’s translucent moss green blank is complemented by matching graphite inserts, gold up-locking reel seats, and gold accents. This rod, which comes with a hard triangular rod case, retails for $199.95. For more information about Temple Fork Outfitters, visit www.templeforkflyrods.com.

Hunting Heritage Trust and Henry Repeating Arms Announce One-Per-State 'Heritage Edition' Rifles

Henry Repeating Arms

The Hunting Heritage Trust, Henry Repeating Arms, Baron Engraving and GunBroker.com have partnered in a project to produce and auction a special series of Henry Golden Boy rifles to raise funds in support of our hunting and shooting sports traditions.

The partnership features the production of special one-per-state “Heritage Edition” Golden Boys. Following a highly successful launch last year, the program has been expanded for 2009 with the production of a .22 long rifle and a .22 WMR Edition. Each addition is limited in production to one rifle per state.

The complete series is currently posted on GunBroker.com where bidding has been active. The high bid on the Kentucky .22 WMR Edition is already over $1,000 with several other rifles approaching the $1,000 mark. The auction will run through 10:00 p.m. Eastern time, Sunday, March 22, 2009.

“The Henry is a classic rifle with a powerful link to America’s firearms heritage,” commented Bob Delfay, President of the Hunting Heritage Trust. “It is totally appropriate and truly exciting that the Henry Golden Boy should be the centerpiece for a project that celebrates our hunting and shooting sports heritage at the same time that it raises funds to help protect our hunting and firearms freedoms.”

In addition to special engraving on both sides of the receiver, the rifles feature select walnut stocks, all hand-selected by Henry Repeating Arms President, Anthony Imperato.

The one-per-state “Heritage Edition” Henry rifles may be viewed at the special “Treasures & Traditions” section of www.GunBroker.com

Henry Lincoln Bicentennial Rifle

New Jersey, January 29, 2009 - -(AmmoLand.com)- A Henry Golden Boy Lincoln Bicentennial Commemorative rifle, serial number 6, will be auctioned to mark the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. MSRP is $1200.

The online auction is live now at:

http://GunBroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=121898115

The bidding ends at 11:00 p.m. EST on Thursday, February 12, 2009. Proceeds will be donated to Farmers and Hunters Feed the Hungry, a non profit, 501(c)(3) faith based feeding ministry that enables hunters to return to their heritage as food providers.

Lincoln owned the original Henry rifle in serial number 6, which now resides in the Smithsonian and is considered a priceless, national treasure. James D. Julia, owner of the leading auction in the world for high quality and valuable antique firearms, recently said of the original Lincoln rifle, “The rifle that you are commemorating, in my mind, is probably the most significant long arm produced during the 19th century.

The fact that it is one of the first six ever produced, the fact that it was presented to one of the most popular Presidents ever in the history of our nation, and its artistry and remarkable condition all make this a truly exceptional and extraordinarily important historical arm.” He added, “Recently we sold an important Colt Walker pistol for nearly $1 million. This gun, at $920,000 is currently the most expensive single firearm ever sold at an auction in the world.”

“Lincoln was a very religious man and his favorite devotional reading spoke of being charitable to the less fortunate,” says Anthony Imperato, owner and president of the company. This auction was inspired by the words of Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address in 1865 that began, “With malice toward none; with charity for all…”

Henry Repeating Arms is the exclusive licensee, appointed by The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, a Federal agency established to honor this great American milestone. The rifle is being produced at a limited run of 2,000 pieces.

Tribute features include a cameo portrait of Abraham Lincoln and a replica image of the Lincoln Memorial laser etched and hand painted into the American Walnut wooden stock; hand engraved replication of the scrollwork originally hand cut to adorn Lincoln’s rifle; and By The People, For The People, the words he movingly asserted as cornerstones of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

Henry Repeating Arms

October 27 - The Youth Shooting Sports Alliance (YSSA) recently announced that the Henry Repeating Arms Company has donated legendary Henry rifles in support of the youth shooting sports programs offered by the Hunter Education Shooting Range Facility in Fairbanks, Alaska and the Montana 4-H Shooting Sports. These priority programs were among those recommended by an industry panel convened to review proposals submitted by youth organizations in response to last summer’s National Youth Shooting Sports Program Needs Assessment conducted by YSSA.

The Hunter Education Shooting Range Facility, managed by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, serves as the hub of firearms safety and education training for the shooting sports in Interior Alaska. The facility reaches more than 20,000 people each year, including more than 5,000 youth, with their various programs and events. As budgets are reduced and utility costs sky rocket, their ability to provide adequate equipment and supplies to continue with and expand their programs is severely impacted.

The Program requested the assistance of the YSSA to acquire a diverse inventory of shooting sports equipment to continue their valuable youth-oriented programs and assist in expanding to reach more youth in the community. Among the equipment requested were twelve Henry Mini Bolt Youth .22 rifles with the orange stock option to complement the adult models previously purchased by the program. Henry Repeating Arms generously fulfilled this need by donating all of the rifles requested.

The Henry Mini Bolt Youth .22 is the perfect rifle for introducing youngsters to shooting and hunting. The Mini Bolt is ideally proportioned for small-framed shooters. The U.S.A Olympic Shooting Team was so impressed by its kid-friendly performance and bull’s eye-punching accuracy, they named it the Official Youth Rifle of their program.

Montana 4-H Shooting Sports is the 4th largest 4-H project in the state with 2,642 youth enrolled. The Montana 4-H Shooting Sports Committee conducts three certification workshops each year in different locations across Montana in order to qualify volunteers to lead county programs. The program’s greatest need is to acquire equipment for use at their training workshops. Among the equipment requested were two Henry .22 rifles with 20″ barrels.

Henry Repeating Arms responded by donating two Henry Golden Boy .22 LR rifles – a masterpiece of fine crafted gunsmithing. The Henry Golden Boy is one beautiful classic that was selected by the readers of Guns & Ammo magazine in 2001 as “Rifle of the Year.”

Henry Repeating Arms Company has served as a long-time supporter of youth shooting sports programs. Mr. Anthony Imperato, President, recognizes the importance of introducing kids to the joy of shooting and hunting as our best investment in continuing our shooting sports heritage in perpetuity.

To commemorate the celebration of the 100th Anniversary in 2010 of the Boy Scouts of America, Henry Repeating Arms announced the release of its Henry Golden Boy “Boy Scouts of America Centennial Edition” licensed rifle. To mark this milestone, this special rifle features the Scout Oath, Scouts Law, scrollwork and traditional Boy Scouts of America logo embellishing the receiver, as well as a 100 Years of Scouting logo and Centennial Edition gold filled etchings in the buttstock and forearm.
