Henry Repeating Arms H1 Western 22Mag 18.5 12Rd
The Henry Repeating Arms H1 Western is a classic lever-action rifle built for shooters who value tradition, reliability, and genuine craftsmanship. Chambered in .22 Magnum with a 12-round capacity, this 18.5-inch barrel rifle delivers a potent small-game and varmint cartridge in a handy, well-balanced package that's equally at home on the range or in the field. Whether you're introducing a new shooter to lever guns, hunting small game, or ringing steel at distance, the H1 Western combines American Walnut furniture with honest blued steel—a rifle that looks and feels built to last.
The H1 Western's design philosophy is pure Henry: keep it simple, keep it reliable, and make it shoot. The semi-buckhorn rear sight and hooded blade front sight are fully adjustable, giving you real precision for target work without batteries or complications. The grooved receiver accepts standard 3/8" scope mounts if you want to upgrade to glass, though the open sights alone will serve most small-game hunters well. At just 5.25 pounds with a 14-inch length of pull, it swings quick and carries easy—exactly what you want from a working rifle.
The checkered pistol grip and American Walnut stock aren't just pretty: they're functional details that improve control and durability. The 1/4 cock safety is intuitive and fast, letting you move from ready to fire without fuss. At 36.5 inches overall, the H1 Western splits the difference between a true carbine and a full-length rifle, making it adaptable to brush hunting, small-property work, or casual marksmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Henry H1 Western good for small-game hunting?
Yes. The .22 Magnum cartridge delivers real velocity and energy for rabbits, squirrels, and other small game, and the 18.5-inch barrel keeps the rifle light and handy in the field. The adjustable sights let you dial in your hunting distance, and the lever action is fast and intuitive.
Can I mount a scope on this rifle?
Yes. The receiver is grooved for 3/8" mounts, and standard ringmounts designed for that groove size will fit. The open sights work well as-is, but scope compatibility gives you flexibility if you want to upgrade.
What's the length of pull, and is it suitable for younger or smaller shooters?
The length of pull is 14 inches, which is designed for standard adult fit. If you have questions about whether it suits a specific shooter, we're happy to help you evaluate.
What does the 1/4 cock safety mean?
The 1/4 cock safety is a manual safety mechanism that's engaged by moving the hammer to a partial position. It's a time-tested design that's fast and intuitive in the field.
