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

The Henry Repeating Arms H004VL .17 HMR 20" 13-Round Walnut Stock Rifle is a precision small-game and varmint platform built for shooters who demand reliability and accuracy in a lightweight, maneuverable package. Designed for hunters, sport shooters, and tactical training applications where rapid follow-up shots and consistent performance are essential, this rifle combines Henry's legendary lever-action mechanism with ballistics optimized for extended-range small-caliber work. The .17 HMR cartridge delivers flat trajectory and minimal recoil, making this rifle ideal for shooters transitioning from .22 LR who seek greater velocity and energy retention downrange.

Chambered in .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire, the H004VL features a 20-inch barrel optimized for ballistic efficiency in a compact profile without sacrificing sight radius or handling speed. The 13-round tubular magazine capacity—fed through Henry's smooth, time-proven lever mechanism—enables rapid magazine replenishment without breaking sight picture, critical for varmint control or competition scenarios. Weighing 7.4 pounds with classically-finished walnut furniture, this rifle balances ergonomic control during extended shooting sessions while maintaining the aesthetic and handling characteristics law enforcement and military training programs have relied upon for decades. The walnut stock absorbs recoil impulse effectively and provides positive control geometry essential for accurate shot placement at distance.

This rifle benefits marksmen and hunters targeting prairie dogs, coyotes, foxes, and other small to medium varmints, as well as sport shooters engaged in long-range rimfire competition. The lever-action format allows for rapid repeat fire while maintaining mechanical simplicity and reliability in field conditions where modern semi-automatic platforms may require routine maintenance. Standard rimfire scope mounting provisions and compatibility with industry-standard .17 HMR ammunition—available from major manufacturers—ensure accessibility and cost-effective practice and deployment across varied terrain.
