Henry Repeating Arms H004VL .17 HMR 20" 13-Round Walnut Stock Rifle

The Henry H004VL Golden Boy Large Loop 17 HMR represents a purpose-built small-caliber rifle ideal for precision varmint control, small game hunting, and tactical training applications. This lever-action design combines American-made reliability with ergonomic handling characteristics favored by shooters who demand accuracy in a compact platform. The large loop mechanism accommodates gloved operation and rapid cycling, making it equally suited for field work and controlled shooting environments where follow-up shots matter.

Built on Henry's proven lever-action architecture, the H004VL chambers the 17 HMR cartridge—a high-velocity rimfire round delivering flat trajectory and minimal recoil while maintaining effective range to 150+ yards. The 20-inch barrel balances velocity retention with maneuverability in tight spaces, while the American walnut furniture and brass receiver provide both durability and classic aesthetics. Open rifle sights come factory-mounted for immediate usability, though the receiver's drilled and tapped design accommodates modern optic mounting systems for shooters preferring scoped precision. At 7.4 pounds, the rifle remains handy without sacrificing stability during prone or supported shooting positions. The 12+1 round capacity ensures extended shooting sessions with minimal magazine changes—critical when managing multiple targets or conducting extended training drills.

Law enforcement officers, military personnel, and civilian marksmanship enthusiasts consistently choose this platform for pest control, predator management, and skill development. The lever-action mechanism's mechanical simplicity and reliability shine in field conditions where semi-automatic designs demand cleaner ammunition. Shooters integrating this rifle into duty or personal security contexts benefit from its intuitive manual-of-arms, reduced noise signature compared to centerfire platforms, and ammunition cost-effectiveness. The large loop design proves particularly valuable for operators wearing heavy gloves or tactical gear, enabling positive cycling under stress. Whether deployed for range precision work or field application, the Henry Golden Boy H004VL delivers consistent performance across diverse operational scenarios.
