Henry H1 Western Rifle: Classic Lever-Action Performance for the Modern Shooter

The Henry H1 Western Rifle represents a return to the timeless lever-action platform, engineered with the precision and reliability that Henry Repeating Arms has built its reputation on. Chambered in both .22 S/L/LR and .22 Magnum, this rifle offers unmatched versatility for plinking, small-game hunting, and target practice. Designed for shooters who demand dependable function and traditional aesthetics, the Henry H1 Western Rifle delivers a smooth cycling action and a rich, blued finish that stands up to years of use.

Overview

Built around a robust steel receiver and a American walnut stock, the Henry H1 Western Rifle combines old-world craftsmanship with modern manufacturing tolerances. The rifle accepts .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle cartridges interchangeably, as well as .22 Magnum in the dedicated model configuration. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for training new shooters or for experienced marksmen who appreciate the ability to switch between cost-effective plinking rounds and more powerful small-game loads. The 20-inch octagonal barrel provides excellent sight radius and balance, while the adjustable rear sight and brass bead front sight ensure rapid, accurate target acquisition in varying light conditions.

Features & Specs

The Henry H1 Western Rifle is distinguished by its high-tensile steel barrel and receiver, both protected by a deep blued finish that resists corrosion. The straight-grip American walnut stock is hand-inspected for grain consistency and fitted with a solid rubber buttpad to reduce felt recoil. The lever-action mechanism cycles smoothly with a short throw, allowing for quick follow-up shots without compromising control. Below are the key specifications and feature highlights:

• Calibers: .22 S/L/LR (interchangeable) and .22 Magnum; 16-round tubular magazine capacity for .22 LR, 11-round for .22 Magnum
• Barrel length: 20 inches, octagonal profile with a 1:16 twist rate; rifled with six grooves for consistent bullet stabilization
• Sights: Fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with a brass bead front sight; receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting

• Overall length: 38.5 inches; weight approximately 6.75 pounds, balancing maneuverability with stability during off-hand shooting
• Stock: Grade I American walnut with a satin finish; checkered fore-end and straight grip for positive purchase in wet or gloved conditions
• Safety: Transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge; half-cock notch on the hammer for additional carry security

• Action type: Lever-action with a smooth, short-stroke lever; side ejection for low-profile scope clearance
• Finish: Blued steel on barrel, receiver, and lever; color-case hardened lever and hammer for aesthetic distinction

Who It’s For

The Henry H1 Western Rifle is intended for shooters who value a reliable, versatile lever-action without unnecessary complexity. It suits the hunter who needs a lightweight, quick-handling rifle for rabbits, squirrels, or other small game in dense cover. It also appeals to the recreational plinker who wants the economy of .22 LR with the option to step up to .22 Magnum for longer-range targets. The rifle is equally at home on the range for training new shooters on the fundamentals of marksmanship, thanks to its low recoil and intuitive iron sights. This rifle is not a tactical or long-range precision tool; it is a straightforward, field-proven design for practical shooting and traditional sporting use.
