Henry H1 Classic Compact Rifle .22 WMR 10rd Capacity 16.5" Round Barrel Walnut Stock

The Henry H1 Classic Compact Rifle in .22 WMR is a nimble lever-action built for shooters who value accuracy and handling over bulk. At just 4.5 pounds with a 16.5-inch barrel, this is a rifle that rewards good technique—whether you're zeroing in on small game in thick brush, training at the range, or introducing a young shooter to lever-action fundamentals. The .22 Magnum cartridge delivers enough velocity and energy for clean hits on rabbits, squirrels, and other small game without the recoil or cost of centerfire rounds.

The H1 Classic Compact keeps things straightforward: a blued steel round barrel, American walnut straight-grip stock with a 13-inch length of pull, and Henry's time-tested lever action. This is a rifle that handles like it should—responsive, quick to mount, balanced enough for all-day carrying. The 10-round capacity gives you plenty of trigger time between reloads, while the 1:16 twist rate is optimized for .22 WMR performance. At 33.5 inches overall, it's compact enough to maneuver in tight spaces but long enough to shoot steady from rest.

Sights are straightforward too: a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and a hooded front blade—classic, reliable, and bright enough for quick target acquisition. If you prefer glass, the grooved 3/8" receiver accepts standard ringmounts for easy optic mounting. The quarter-cock safety keeps things simple and sure. Whether this is your first lever gun or you're adding a .22 to a collection, the H1 Classic Compact delivers Henry's reputation for honest, dependable rifles without unnecessary frills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the .22 WMR good for?

.22 Magnum is a popular choice for small game hunting, including rabbits and squirrels, and for target shooting. It's more powerful than standard .22 LR but easier to shoot and less expensive than centerfire rifles, making it ideal for training and recreational shooting.

Can I mount a scope on the Henry H1 Classic Compact?

Yes. The rifle features a 3/8" grooved receiver that accepts standard ringmounts, allowing you to attach most optics designed for that mount pattern. The open sights are fully adjustable if you prefer iron sight shooting.

Is 13 inches the only length of pull available?

This model comes with a 13-inch length of pull. If you need a different fit, contact Henry or a gunsmith about stock options, though this rifle is well-suited for youth and smaller-framed shooters.

What's the difference between the H1 Classic Compact and other Henry .22 models?

The H1 Classic Compact is built for handling and portability: a shorter 16.5" barrel, 10-round capacity, lighter weight, and a 13" length of pull. It's purpose-built for shooters who prioritize compact size and agility over magazine capacity or barrel length.
