Henry Repeating Arms H001TVL Frontier Large .17 HMR 20" 12-Round Rifle

The Henry Repeating Arms H001TVL Frontier Large .17 HMR 20" 12-Round Rifle is a purpose-built small-game and varmint rifle engineered for shooters who demand accuracy, reliability, and low recoil in a lightweight package. Developed for hunters, ranchers, and precision shooters tackling prairie dogs, coyotes, and other small-to-medium predators, this rifle combines Henry's legendary lever-action durability with the ballistic advantages of the .17 HMR cartridge. At 6.8 pounds with a 20-inch barrel, the H001TVL delivers the maneuverability needed for field work without sacrificing sight radius or velocity.

The .17 HMR chambering fires a 17-grain projectile at approximately 2,550 feet per second, producing minimal recoil and wind drift over typical varmint engagement distances—typically 50 to 150 yards. The lever-action mechanism provides rapid follow-up shots with no external safety fumbling, critical when multiple targets present themselves or when a first shot requires immediate adjustment. The 12-round tubular magazine capacity allows extended shooting sessions without constant reloads, while the flat-shooting ballistics of the .17 HMR reduce holdover calculations, keeping target acquisition simple and intuitive. The 20-inch barrel balances velocity retention with portability, a configuration proven across decades of field use by professional predator control operators and serious hunters.

This rifle suits anyone requiring a reliable, low-recoil platform for extended varmint work, including landowners managing predator populations and hunters pursuing small game in open terrain. The H001TVL's lightweight profile and smooth action excel in scenarios where ammunition must be carried long distances and rapid target engagement occurs without predictability. Standard .17 HMR ammunition is widely available, affordable relative to centerfire options, and delivers sufficient velocity for humane, clean kills on intended game without over-penetration concerns in populated areas. The rifle's classic lever-action design means zero external controls to snag on brush or clothing—a practical advantage in field conditions where simplicity and reliability trump tacticool features.
