Chambered in both .22 S/L/LR and .22 Magnum, this American-made lever action combines the storied craftsmanship of Henry Repeating Arms with the portability demanded by today’s shooters. Whether you are looking for a reliable plinker, a pack rifle for backcountry excursions, or a versatile training platform, the Henry H1 Bandit Rifle delivers consistent accuracy and smooth cycling in a package that breaks down to fit in a backpack or saddlebag.

Overview

The Henry H1 Bandit Rifle is a takedown lever-action rifle designed for shooters who value both convenience and performance. Its 12.5-inch barrel and compact overall length make it exceptionally easy to transport and store, while the full-size stock ensures a comfortable cheek weld and stable shooting platform. The rifle’s lightweight alloy receiver and octagonal barrel contribute to its balanced feel, reducing fatigue during extended sessions. Chambered to accept .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges, as well as .22 Magnum, the Henry H1 Bandit Rifle offers unmatched versatility in a single platform.

Features & Specs

• Takedown design with a simple, tool-free locking mechanism that allows the barrel and forend to separate from the receiver for compact storage or cleaning. The Henry H1 Bandit Rifle reassembles with zero loss of zero, making it ideal for shooters who need a rifle that packs small but shoots big.
• 12.5-inch octagonal barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, threaded for standard .22 caliber accessories. The barrel features a polished blue finish and is paired with a brass bead front sight and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight for quick target acquisition.
• Receiver is machined from lightweight aluminum alloy with a black anodized finish. The lever is case-hardened steel, and the action cycles smoothly for both .22 LR and .22 Magnum rounds without adjustment.

• Caliber: .22 S/L/LR, .22 Magnum (interchangeable with no modification)
• Capacity: 9 rounds (.22 LR), 7 rounds (.22 Magnum)
• Overall length: 24 inches (assembled), 16.5 inches (disassembled)

The Henry H1 Bandit Rifle ships with a padded soft case that accommodates the two-piece takedown configuration. Every rifle is backed by Henry’s limited lifetime warranty, and the action is designed to digest a wide range of ammunition brands without hiccups.

Who It’s For

The Henry H1 Bandit Rifle is purpose-built for shooters who need a rifle that travels as well as it shoots. It is an excellent choice for backpackers, campers, and overlanders who want a reliable firearm for small game hunting, plinking, or general backcountry defense. It also appeals to target shooters who appreciate the takedown feature for easy range transport and storage. Because it cycles both .22 LR and .22 Magnum, the Henry H1 Bandit Rifle is equally suited for training new shooters on a low-recoil platform or for experienced marksmen who need a lightweight, packable rifle for extended trips. This is not a long-range precision rifle, but a rugged, go-anywhere companion that puts accuracy and reliability first.
