Key Features

- .360 Buckhammer Chambering — Why it matters: Delivers heavy-hitting straight-wall performance for deer and hogs out to 200 yards, ideal for states with straight-wall cartridge restrictions.
- Deep-Checkered Walnut Stock — Why it matters: Provides a secure grip in wet or cold conditions, so you keep control when it counts.
- Drilled and Tapped for Weaver-Style Mounts — Why it matters: Makes scope installation straightforward without needing a gunsmith, saving you time and money.
Who It's For

It also suits shooters who appreciate traditional lever-action styling but want modern features like side-gate loading and scope compatibility. New gun owners will find it easy to operate and maintain.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Smooth side-gate loading; accurate .360 Buckhammer round; classic brass-and-walnut looks; drilled and tapped for optics; transfer-bar safety adds peace of mind.
- Cons: The polished brass receiver shows fingerprints and scratches more readily than a matte finish — keep a soft cloth handy if you like it pristine.

The Henry H024-360BH offers a unique straight-wall caliber with better energy retention than .357 Mag, while the Marlin 336 Classic is more common for .30-30 hunters. The Rossi R95 is lighter and cheaper but lacks the brass receiver and .360 Buckhammer ballistics.
FAQ
What is the .360 Buckhammer cartridge best used for?
It's designed for deer and medium game hunting in states with straight-wall cartridge laws, delivering reliable expansion and deep penetration at typical hunting distances (under 200 yards).
Can I mount a scope on this rifle without a gunsmith?
Yes — the receiver is drilled and tapped for Weaver-style bases, so you can attach a scope mount yourself using common tools.
Does this rifle have a safety?
It includes a transfer-bar safety, which prevents firing unless the trigger is pulled, even if the rifle is dropped.
How does the side gate work?
You load cartridges one at a time into the gate on the right side of the receiver, which feeds them into the tubular magazine. No need to remove the magazine tube.
