Henry H10 Provider Rifle .45-70 Gov't 6rd Capacity 20" Round Barrel Walnut with Swivel Studs

The Henry H10 Provider rifle in .45-70 Gov't is a lever-action workhorse built for hunters who need stopping power and reliability in the field. This isn't a modern tactical setup—it's a straightforward, rugged rifle that honors the cartridge's heritage while delivering the accuracy and handling that serious hunters expect. With its 20-inch round barrel, walnut stock, and 6-round capacity, the Provider bridges classic lever-gun appeal with practical hunting capability for deer, bear, hogs, moose, and elk at reasonable hunting distances.

The .45-70 Government cartridge has earned its reputation as a hard-hitting, versatile round for North American big game, and the H10 Provider makes no apologies about being purpose-built for that work. The rifle weighs 7.25 lbs—manageable for a day in the woods without being featherweight—and the ventilated rubber recoil pad helps manage the cartridge's considerable punch. The checkered walnut pistol grip and swivel studs give you secure handling and easy sling attachment, while the blued steel receiver and barrel develop character as they age.

Sighting options keep things practical. The fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with diamond insert and brass bead front sight are time-tested for hunting-distance accuracy. For shooters who want to move beyond iron sights, the receiver is drilled and tapped for Weaver scope mounts, giving you flexibility to mount optics without custom gunsmithing. Whether you're hunting thick brush where a lever gun excels or taking deliberate shots across a clearing, the Provider's transfer bar safety and straightforward operation let you focus on the hunt.

Henry Repeating Arms has a long track record of building reliable lever-actions, and the Provider carries that same dedication to function and durability. This is a rifle that rewards practice and respect, and one that'll serve multiple generations of hunters if treated right.
