Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine

Overview

The Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine represents a precision-oriented platform from Henry Repeating Arms, designed for shooters who demand consistent accuracy across multiple rimfire calibers. This model bridges the gap between a dedicated target rifle and a field-ready carbine, offering a 20-inch barrel length that balances balance with velocity retention. Chambered in .22 S/L/LR, .22 Magnum, and .17 HMR, the Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine allows the user to select the exact cartridge for their intended application, from plinking to small-game hunting. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, while the adjustable rear sight and bead front sight provide immediate usability out of the box. Built on Henry’s proven lever-action heritage, this rifle delivers a smooth cycling action and a trigger pull that breaks cleanly at approximately 4.5 pounds. The American walnut stock with a satin finish enhances both aesthetics and grip stability during extended range sessions.

Features & Specs

The Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine is engineered with a focus on mechanical precision and material quality. Each barrel is rifled using a button-broaching process, ensuring consistent groove dimensions and minimal bore variance. The following specifications define this model:

• Caliber options: .22 S/L/LR (compatible with standard, long, and long rifle), .22 Magnum, and .17 HMR; magazine tube capacity varies by caliber (15 rounds for .22 LR, 11 rounds for .22 Magnum, 11 rounds for .17 HMR)
• Barrel length: 20 inches; overall length: 38.5 inches; weight: 6.25 pounds (unloaded); twist rate: 1:16 for .22 LR, 1:14 for .22 Magnum, 1:9 for .17 HMR
• Stock: American walnut with Monte Carlo comb and cut checkering at forend and grip; rubber buttpad reduces felt recoil; sling swivel studs included

Additional design elements include a side ejection port that allows low-scope mounting, a brass bead front sight with a hooded rear aperture, and a two-position safety located on the tang. The Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine accepts both tip-off and Weaver-style scope bases without modification.

Who It’s For

This rifle is suited for the shooter who values caliber flexibility and build integrity. The Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine is appropriate for competitive rimfire matches where .22 S/L/LR is the standard, as well as for varmint control where .17 HMR or .22 Magnum provides flat trajectory and retained energy. Hunters targeting small game such as squirrels or rabbits will appreciate the lightweight profile and reliable feeding cycle. Target shooters who prefer iron sights will find the fully adjustable rear aperture and hooded front sight sufficient for 50- to 100-yard precision work. The rifle also serves as a training platform for new shooters due to its low recoil and intuitive lever-action mechanism. Because the Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine ships with a manual and a lock, it meets safety requirements for direct shipment to the end user through an FFL dealer.

Shipping & FFL

All firearms, including the Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine, are shipped to a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder designated by the purchaser during checkout. After placing your order, you will receive a confirmation email requesting your chosen FFL dealer’s contact information and license copy. We verify each FFL with the ATF before processing shipment. Standard shipping is via UPS Ground or FedEx Home Delivery, with signature required upon delivery. Please confirm that your selected FFL accepts transfers from out-of-state retailers and that they comply with all state and local laws regarding rimfire rifle purchases. Some states impose additional waiting periods, age restrictions, or magazine capacity limits; it is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance. If your FFL dealer charges a transfer fee, that fee is separate from the purchase price and is paid directly to the dealer upon pickup. We do not ship to PO boxes or APO addresses for firearms. Allow 3-7 business days for processing and transit once FFL verification is complete.
