NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Henry Repeating Arms, America’s leading lever-action rifle manufacturer, donated Serial No. 01 of the American Cattleman Tribute Edition .30-30 rifle to the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Political Action Committee (NCBA-PAC) fundraising auction, held Tuesday evening during CattleCon in Nashville, Tennessee. The first-of-its-kind rifle raised $31,500, making it the highest bid item of the evening and a standout moment of the auction.
Serial No. 01 represents the very first rifle produced in a special Tribute Edition series designed to honor the men, women, and livestock who keep America fed. With a solid, hardened brass receiver and genuine American walnut furniture as the canvas, the rifle is engraved and hand-painted with scenes including Angus cattle, a Texas Longhorn, and a banner that reads, “Long Live the American Cattleman.”
“America’s cattle producers play a vital role in our economy, our food supply, and our way of life,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “Their continued success means success for our country as a whole, so we’re proud to support NCBA-PAC and the important work they do on behalf of the beef industry.”
In addition to the rifle, Henry Repeating Arms included a hand-built walnut tabletop display and a box of Federal Premium’s new Cattleman Edition .30-30 ammunition.
Proceeds from the auction will directly support NCBA-PAC’s efforts to advocate for policies and political candidates that protect cattle producers and strengthen the future of American agriculture.
The American Cattleman Tribute Edition .30-30 rifle is available for a limited time, factory-direct from Henry Repeating Arms. Additional information can be found at HenryUSA.com/cattle.
