In the movie business, sequels are rarely as good as the original. Hollywood takes a blockbuster, spins off two or three watered down versions of the successful formula, and rides it till it dies. Not so at Henry Repeating Arms, where they do just the opposite. They’re always on the lookout to expand their horizons, and they don’t water anything down.

The rimfire Silver Eagle Henry introduced as a “best value” in an engraved all-American-made rifle is a beauty for those who like a little shine at the range, and it’s also a fine shooter, as all of the Golden Boy-based rifles are. For 2016, Henry thought they’d let the Eagle soar a little higher, and that’s exactly what they’ve done with the introduction of the new Silver Eagle 2nd Edition.

Retaining the same general features as the Silver Eagle, the new rifles are available in .22 S/L/LR in the same configurations with 20” blued octagon barrels, buck & bead adjustable sights, select American Walnut furniture, with the same magazine capacities.
