Henry H1 Bandit Rifle: A Compact Companion for Plinking and Precision

When you pick up the Henry H1 Bandit Rifle, the first thing you notice is how it feels like a full-size rifle that somehow shrank in the wash. This is not a scaled-down toy or a compromise gun. It is a serious, well-built repeater chambered in .22 S/L/LR and .22 Magnum, designed for shooters who want a lightweight, packable rifle that still delivers the smooth action and reliability that Henry Repeating Arms is known for. Whether you are teaching a new shooter, hunting small game in tight cover, or just want a fun afternoon at the range, the Henry H1 Bandit rifle brings a lot of capability in a compact package.

Overview

The Henry H1 Bandit rifle is a lever-action .22 that combines classic styling with modern portability. Its short 12.5-inch barrel and overall length of just over 33 inches make it ideal for backpacks, truck cabs, or storage in tight spaces. Despite its compact size, the H1 Bandit retains a full-size stock and a comfortable length of pull, so it handles like a larger rifle. It feeds both .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges interchangeably, and it is also available in .22 Magnum for those who want a bit more punch. This is a rimfire rifle built for fun, training, and utility.
