Henry H001T22M Frontier Rifle .22 Wmr

The Henry H001T22M Frontier Rifle is a classic lever-action .22 Magnum that splits the difference between serious hunting capability and pure shooting fun. Built on Henry's proven platform, this rifle delivers the quick handling and intuitive operation that made lever guns legendary, chambered in a rimfire cartridge that hits harder than .22 LR without the recoil or noise penalty of centerfire. It's at home taking small game and varmints in the field, running targets at the range, or introducing shooters to lever-action mechanics—all with the timeless appeal of American Walnut and honest blued steel.

The 20-inch octagon barrel groups shots tight with a 1:16 twist rate optimized for .22 Magnum ballistics. At just 6.5 pounds and 38 inches overall, the Frontier handles like a midrange rifle should: light enough to carry all day, substantial enough to shoot accurately from field positions. The straight-grip walnut stock and quarter-cock safety reflect Henry's no-nonsense approach to rifle design—every feature earns its place.

Sights come dressed: a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with diamond insert and a brass bead front deliver a classic sight picture that works in variable light. The 3/8 grooved receiver accepts standard ring mounts if you want to add a scope, giving you the flexibility to set it up your way. The 13-round magazine capacity means you spend more time shooting and less time reloading.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is .22 Magnum and what can I hunt with it?

.22 Magnum (.22 WMR) is a rimfire cartridge that delivers more power and range than standard .22 LR, making it effective for small game, varmints, and pest control. It's quieter and generates less recoil than centerfire rifle cartridges, which makes it popular with hunters who want to minimize noise and learning curve while maintaining real hunting capability.

Can I mount a scope on the Henry H001T22M Frontier?

Yes. The rifle features a 3/8 grooved receiver that accepts standard ring mounts, so you can add a scope if you prefer it to the iron sights. The sights also work independently, so you can keep them zeroed as a backup.

Is this rifle good for beginners?

Absolutely. The lever-action mechanism is intuitive and reliable, the .22 Magnum cartridge is manageable for new shooters, and the lightweight 6.5-pound rifle is easy to handle and control. Combined with excellent iron sights and a traditional straight-grip stock, it's a natural first choice for learning riflemanship.

What does "quarter-cock" safety mean?

The quarter-cock safety is a mechanical design that prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is deliberately pulled. On lever-action rifles, it's a reliable, simple safety mechanism with no levers or buttons to manipulate—just position your trigger finger and you're ready, or keep it outside the trigger guard and the gun is safe.
