The Heart Behind the Build
You don’t always need a black rifle to do serious work. Sometimes, it’s the slow thump of a lever gun—the kind that echoes through timber and brush—that says everything.
This build began as a nod to that heritage: a Henry X Model chambered in .45-70 Gov’t. A round with history. A rifle with roots. But we didn’t stop there. With the WOOX Bravado stock, the soul of this rifle got wrapped in handcrafted walnut and fitted for the modern age.
Then we added tech. Because in the real world—where shots happen at first light or in total darkness—precision demands more than just feel.
Tech and Tradition: Gear Overview
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Stock | WOOX Bravado – American walnut with aluminum backbone, M-LOK rail sections |
| Rifle | Henry X Model .45-70 Govt – Lever-action powerhouse with threaded barrel |
| Optic | DNT Hydra 384 – Thermal imaging for night hunting and target detection |
| Suppressor | C3 Firearms Suppressor – Reduces signature and recoil on the .45-70 beast |
| Light | HRT AWLS – Tactical weapon light with modular mounts |
| Tripod | Two Vets “The Kit V2” – Durable, stable shooting platform |
Gear Insight: The DNT Hydra gives this build an eye in the dark—detecting heat signatures and tracking movement even through brush. Pair that with a suppressor, and you’ve got a nighttime predator rifle built for discretion and control.
How It Performs in the Field
The .45-70 is not subtle. But this setup brings finesse to the punch. The Bravado stock softens felt recoil and gives your cheek a warm, solid anchor. Combined with the tripod and thermal, you can post up in uneven terrain and still hold a rock-solid shot.
The C3 suppressor doesn’t mute the beast—but it tames it enough to keep your ears intact and your focus sharp. The AWLS light is mounted low-profile but bright enough to cut through dark brush when thermal isn’t needed.
It’s a rifle you hike with, set up with, and rely on when things get unpredictable.
A lever-action may feel like the past—but this one is built for tomorrow. Whether you’re managing land, hunting hogs, or just want a rifle that merges beauty with ballistic might, this Bravado build delivers.
Classic lines. Cutting-edge capability. Made for the wild.
