The Mule Deer Foundation is honored to offer its 2022 Gun of the Year. Proudly built in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, this Henry rifle is chambered in one of America’s longest-lived hunting calibers and embellished with highly detailed engraving exclusive to MDF.

Chambered in .45-70 Gov’t, the engraving work on both sides of the blued steel receiver set this rifle apart from the rest of the guns at deer camp. The right side features the Mule Deer Foundation logo selectively plated in 24k gold to the rear of the side loading gate, all of which is surrounded by flowing leafy vine scrollwork and an elegant gold border. On the opposite side, a broadside portrayal of a mule deer in mid-leap lies at the center of near full-coverage scrollwork. The deer jumps off the hilly background with contrast provided by more gold plating.

The 18.43” round blued steel barrel sits atop a 4-round capacity magazine that can be loaded or topped off with the side loading gate. A removable inner magazine tube allows for safe unloading. An internal transfer bar safety provides further safety without the need for external buttons or switches.

Just as much a deer stopper as it is a showstopper, this rifle is finished off with practical features like fully adjustable sights, sling swivel studs, drilled and tapped holes on top of the receiver for an optics base, a large loop lever, and a ventilated rubber recoil pad. The checkered genuine American walnut stocks are the perfect furniture choice for a classy hunting rifle such as this.
