Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine

The Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine represents a refined evolution of the lever-action platform, engineered for shooters who demand precision, versatility, and traditional craftsmanship. Chambered in multiple rimfire calibers and built by Henry Repeating Arms, this model delivers reliable performance across a range of applications from small-game hunting to recreational target shooting. Its American walnut stock, blued steel barrel, and smooth action are hallmarks of Henry’s commitment to quality manufacturing standards.

Overview

The Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine is a lever-action firearm designed to accommodate three distinct rimfire calibers: .22 S/L/LR, .22 Magnum, and .17 HMR. This caliber flexibility allows shooters to select the optimal cartridge for their intended use without requiring multiple firearms. The rifle features an 18-inch barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, providing stable accuracy across all supported ammunition types. The carbine variant maintains the same action and receiver specifications while offering a slightly shorter overall length for enhanced maneuverability in dense cover or vehicle transport. Both configurations utilize a tubular magazine with a capacity of 12 rounds for .22 LR and 10 rounds for .22 Magnum and .17 HMR. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, and the rifle ships with adjustable iron sights as standard equipment.
