Henry .450 Bushmaster Single Shot Rifle with Walnut Stock - Model H015450

The Henry .450 Bushmaster single-shot rifle combines classic American gunmaking with practical stopping power for big game hunters and dedicated marksmen. This Model H015450 pairs a robust blued-steel barrel and receiver with a walnut stock, delivering the kind of build quality Henry is known for—simple, reliable, and built to last. The .450 Bushmaster cartridge brings serious energy to bear on larger game, making this rifle an excellent choice for hunters who want a purpose-built platform for hunting large game or those who appreciate the precision discipline of single-shot shooting.

The 22-inch round barrel is threaded with a 1:20 twist, optimized for .450 Bushmaster ammunition. The rifle comes drilled and tapped for scope mounting (Weaver 82 standard), giving you flexibility to mount your preferred optic for longer-range work. Iron sights—a brass-bead front and fully adjustable folding-leaf rear—are included, so you can shoot right out of the box if you choose. The open-sight setup is quick and reliable for hunting in brush or timber where a rifle scope might not be necessary.

Handling is straightforward: the rebounding hammer is safe and simple to operate, and the single-shot action keeps you focused and deliberate with every round. The American walnut stock feels right in your hands and will age beautifully with use. Swivel studs are fitted for a sling, and the black rubber recoil pad absorbs the .450 Bushmaster's punch without complaint. At 7.18 pounds with a 37.5-inch overall length and 14-inch length of pull, the rifle balances pointability with control—equally at home in a field stand or on the rifle range.

If you're serious about big game hunting and respect the single-shot tradition, the Henry .450 Bushmaster delivers honest performance without unnecessary complexity.
