Henry Arms is a well-known company amongst American gun enthusiasts, as it should be, manufacturing every firearm locally. The company has a wide range of rifles and shotguns available in gorgeous woods, stainless steel, and brass, using classic shapes for modern times. The most popular of these is the Henry lever action rifle, hearkening back to the Old West by making each one in the USA.
1. Henry Arms .45-70 Lever Action Rifle
This rifle features a beautiful blued steel barrel, 18.43 inches long, and an American walnut stock that’s been checkered for improved grip. Only 7.08 pounds, it’s comfortable to carry and easy to use. It can carry four rounds in the magazine, plus one in the chamber. Unloading this rifle is as easy as removing the internal magazine tube and cycling out the round in the chamber.
Smooth handling and a light trigger make this a fun rifle to shoot, and the recoil pad helps you shoot longer.
2. Henry Single Shot Rifle
Most single shot rifles tend to be youth models or reproductions, but Henry stepped in creating a single shot rifle for the modern era. It has all the class and style of the company’s lever actions as an adult-sized break action. It has a 22 inch blued steel barrel with a pistol grip made from checkered American walnut.
The rifle has an extractor, so you can easily collect and contain spent cartridges. It is also pre-drilled and tapped for a Weaver rail if you choose to add optics.
3. Long Ranger .243 Winchester
The Long Ranger is unique in that it uses a box magazine, rather a tubular one. This allows the rifle to be fired with a spitzer type bullet, the one that has a pointy end for those who don’t know.
In a tubular magazine, the pointed tip risks impacting the primer of the cartridge ahead, which would be disastrous. However, bullets with a rounded tip don’t fly as far and aren’t as accurate. The box magazine allows this lever action rifle to use the optimal style of bullet.
4. Big Boy Classic .44 Magnum
Keeping the classy Henry look, this lever action allows the Old West tradition of carrying a rifle and pistol of the same caliber. Originally done so that men with limited packing space could carry enough cartridges to stay alive, this rifle is light enough to carry all day if needed as well. Putting the heavy pistol caliber in a rifle reduces the recoil, making it more comfortable to shoot for extended periods of time.
