Whether you are introducing a new shooter to the sport or adding a reliable small-game tool to your collection, this rifle offers a smooth, accurate experience right out of the box.

Overview

Henry Repeating Arms has a well-earned reputation for building dependable, American-made firearms, and the H1 Sporter is a prime example of that commitment. This model features a lightweight synthetic stock and a sleek, blacked-out finish that stands up to the elements. The real standout feature is its takedown design: with a simple turn of a knob, the barrel separates from the receiver, allowing for compact storage or easy cleaning. Chambered in .22 S/L/LR, .22 Magnum, or .17 HMR, the Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine adapts to your shooting needs without the hassle of switching platforms.

Features & Specs

Here is a breakdown of what makes the Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine a solid performer. The action is a straight-pull, rotating-bolt design that feels smooth and intuitive. The rifle comes with a 10-round rotary magazine, which feeds reliably and sits flush with the stock. The barrel is threaded (1/2×28) on most models, ready for a suppressor or muzzle brake. The overall length is compact at just under 36 inches, making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces or carry in a pack.

• Calibers available: .22 S/L/LR, .22 Magnum, .17 HMR
• Takedown barrel system for quick disassembly and transport
• Adjustable rear sight and fiber optic front sight for fast target acquisition

• Threaded barrel (1/2×28) on .22 LR and .22 Magnum models
• Synthetic stock with a textured grip area for wet-weather handling
• Overall weight: approximately 4.5 pounds, ideal for all-day carry

The rifle also includes a Picatinny rail on the receiver, so mounting a red dot or scope is straightforward. Accuracy is consistent with what you would expect from a quality rimfire: at 50 yards, the Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine will reliably group within an inch or two with good ammunition.

Who It’s For

This rifle appeals to a wide range of shooters. Beginners will appreciate the low recoil and simple operation of the Henry H1 Sporter Rifle & Carbine, while experienced hunters will value its lightweight build and takedown convenience for hiking into remote areas. If you own a suppressor, the threaded barrel and subsonic .22 LR ammo make for a quiet, backyard-friendly setup. The .17 HMR version is a solid choice for varmint hunters who need flat trajectories and higher velocities. Even if you are just a weekend plinker, the rotary magazine and smooth action make this rifle fun to shoot for hours without breaking the bank on ammunition.
