Henry H1 Frontier Rifle .22 LR 16rd Capacity 20" Barrel Walnut

The Henry H1 Frontier Rifle in .22 LR is a lever-action workhorse built for shooters who appreciate honest, reliable firearms without unnecessary frills. With its 20-inch octagon barrel, American walnut furniture, and straightforward mechanical design, this rifle handles small-game hunting, target shooting, and plinking with the kind of dependability that made lever-actions legendary. At 6.5 pounds, it's handy enough for a day in the field yet solid enough to shoot straight from a bench or rest.

The .22 LR chambering and 16-round capacity make the Frontier a natural choice for varmint work and hunting rabbits, squirrels, and other small game where volume of fire and ammunition economy both matter. The fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with diamond insert and brass-bead front sight are battle-tested sighting options that work without batteries or adjustment hassles. If you want to add optics, the 3/8-inch grooved receiver accepts standard ringmounts, opening up options for a rimfire scope without permanent modifications.

Henry Repeating Arms built the Frontier around the lever-action platform that's been proven across generations of American shooters. The quarter-cock safety, straight-grip walnut stock, and blued-steel octagon barrel give this rifle a classic profile that doesn't feel dated or apologetic—it just works. Whether you're introducing a younger shooter to lever guns, maintaining your own small-game tradition, or simply want a .22 that shoots straight and feeds reliably, the H1 Frontier delivers function and character in equal measure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mount a scope on the Henry H1 Frontier?

Yes. The rifle has a 3/8-inch grooved receiver that accepts standard ringmounts designed for that groove size. You can add a rimfire scope without permanently altering the receiver, and the iron sights remain accessible for backup use.

What's the difference between the .22 LR, .22 L, and .22 S capacity?

The Henry H1 Frontier feeds and fires all three rimfire cartridges: it holds 16 rounds of .22 LR, 17 rounds of .22 L, and 23 rounds of .22 S. Most shooters load .22 LR, which offers a balance of velocity, accuracy, and cost for hunting and range work.

Is the Henry H1 Frontier suitable for hunting small game?

Yes. The .22 LR caliber, 16-round capacity, and reliable lever-action function make it well-suited for hunting rabbits, squirrels, and similar small game. The adjustable sights allow you to zero for your preferred hunting distance.

What's the length of pull, and is it adjustable?

The H1 Frontier has a 14-inch length of pull. The straight-grip walnut stock is fixed; there is no factory adjustment mechanism. This length works well for most shooters, but measure your own pull if you're between sizes.
