Henry Repeating Arms H1 Sporter 22wmr 16.5" 13-Round Lever-Action Rifle

The Henry Repeating Arms H1 Sporter 22wmr 16.5" 13-Round Lever-Action Rifle delivers reliable small-game hunting and precision rifle training in a historically proven platform. Built for shooters who value dependable mechanical action over modern tactical frameworks, this rimfire lever-gun bridges classic American rifle heritage with practical field performance. Whether you're introducing new shooters to rifle fundamentals, pursuing varmints and small game, or maintaining marksmanship skills at the range, the H1 Sporter offers low recoil and fast follow-up shots through its smooth lever mechanism.

The 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22WMR) cartridge provides superior velocity and energy compared to standard 22 LR, extending effective range to approximately 125 yards for small-game applications while generating minimal noise and recoil. The 16.5-inch barrel balances maneuverability with sight radius, critical for lever-action point-shooting at typical hunting distances. Henry's traditional side-gate loading design eliminates the need for removable magazines, allowing the 13-round capacity to feed reliably through proven tube-magazine geometry. The lightweight construction at 6.69 pounds ensures all-day carry comfort in field operations without sacrificing durability or accuracy.

Law enforcement and military trainers frequently employ 22WMR lever-actions for recruit rifle fundamentals courses where low cost-per-round and minimal recoil allow focus on trigger control and position work. Hunters benefit from the rifle's compact length in dense brush while the 22WMR's flat trajectory improves first-shot accuracy on coyotes and foxes. The Henry H1 Sporter's iron sights come pre-mounted; aftermarket scope bases designed for lever-actions allow optical upgrades without permanent modification. Ammunition availability remains strong across commercial distributors, supporting sustained training regimens and field use.
