Henry SPD Predator Rifle

The Henry SPD Predator stands as a precision-engineered lever-action rifle from Henry Repeating Arms, purpose-built for the serious predator hunter and marksman. Chambered in .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, this rifle bridges traditional American craftsmanship with modern ballistic requirements. Whether you are working coyotes at dawn or dialing in groups at the range, the Henry SPD Predator delivers consistent accuracy without the bulk of a dedicated bolt gun. Its smooth cycling action and threaded barrel make it a versatile tool for shooters who demand reliability under field conditions.

Overview

The Henry SPD Predator is a modern lever-action rifle that accepts both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO ammunition, giving you flexibility with widely available rounds. It features a 20-inch octagonal barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing heavier bullets commonly used in predator hunting. The rifle includes a factory-installed muzzle brake and threaded barrel (5/8×24 pattern) for suppressor use. Henry Repeating Arms designed this model with a large-loop lever for gloved operation and a side-gate loading system, eliminating the need to remove the magazine tube for reloads. The stock is a black synthetic Monte Carlo with a ventilated recoil pad, providing a solid cheek weld and reduced felt recoil.

The trigger is a smooth, two-stage design with a crisp break, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting using standard Weaver-style bases. The Henry SPD Predator also features a transfer-bar safety system, common to Henry lever actions, preventing accidental discharge if the hammer is not fully cocked.

Who It Is For

This rifle targets the predator hunter who needs a fast-handling, suppressor-ready platform for calling coyotes, foxes, or bobcats. The lever action allows for rapid follow-up shots while maintaining a low profile compared to semi-automatics. It also suits the recreational shooter who appreciates the manual cycling of a lever gun but wants the ballistics of the .223/5.56 cartridge. If you value American-made quality from a manufacturer with a century-long reputation, and you want a gun that performs equally in the field and at the bench, the Henry SPD Predator is a direct answer. It is not a competition rifle or a tactical carbine; it is a specialized tool for a specific hunting discipline.
