Rice Lake, Wis. — Henry Repeating Arms is expanding its rimfire lever-action platform with a broad lineup of new models built for target shooting, plinking, small game hunting, and modern rimfire enthusiasts.

The new additions include the H1 Western Rifle, H1 Western Frontier Rifle, H1 Sporter Rifle and Carbine, H1 Bandit Rifle, and H1 X Model, making this release the most significant expansion in the history of the H1 platform. The rifles are available across multiple configurations in .22 Short, Long and Long Rifle, .22 Magnum, and select models in .17 HMR.

“For more than a quarter century, the H1 has introduced countless families and first-time owners to the fun, reliability, and timeless appeal of a Henry lever action,” said Anthony Imperato, founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “This expansion gives that platform new life, new purpose, and new personality while staying true to what made it so beloved in the first place.”

The H1 Western Rifle brings a fresh take to Henry’s base model rimfire lever action with a pistol grip-style buttstock, checkered American walnut, an 18.5-inch round blued steel barrel, adjustable semi-buckhorn sights, and a 3/8-inch grooved receiver cover for optional optics mounting.

Similarly, the new H1 Western Frontier Rifle brings a checkered furniture set with a pistol grip-style buttstock to Henry’s H1 Frontier Rifle model, with a 20-inch polished blued octagon barrel, giving it a distinct feel from its straight-stocked predecessor.

The H1 Sporter Rifle and Carbine is a step toward a more dedicated feature set, this time for plinkers, target shooters, and small game hunters who prefer to use optics and a suppressor. Because the platform is optics-ready from the start, there are no iron sights, keeping the sight picture clear when using low-mounted optics. A receiver cover with an integrated Picatinny rail makes mounting simple. The checkered American walnut pistol grip-style Monte Carlo buttstock helps create a natural cheek weld.

The H1 Bandit packs the big features found in the H1 Sporter Rifle into a smaller package with a 13-inch length of pull for larger youths or smaller-framed adults.

The H1 X Model brings one of Henry’s most popular centerfire configurations to its most popular rimfire lever-action platform. Weighing just 5 pounds, it is Henry’s lightest rimfire lever action and features a 16.5-inch 1/2×28 threaded barrel, canted magazine tube for suppressor clearance, adjustable fiber optic sights, Picatinny rail, black synthetic furniture, M-LOK accessory slots, sling swivel studs, and an adjustable length of pull from 14 inches to 13.5 inches using included spacers.
