Description
Some rimfires just have presence, and the Henry H1 Western Frontier is one of them. It starts with the same smooth-cycling lever action that made the original Frontier a staple on range benches and in squirrel woods, then adds checkered genuine American walnut furniture and a pistol grip style buttstock. That grip profile gives your trigger hand a more natural wrist angle than a straight stock, which a lot of folks find steadier for deliberate shots on small targets. The blacked-out receiver against polished walnut and a deep blued octagon barrel gives it a look straight out of a saddle scabbard.
The Western Frontier's Octagon Barrel Advantage
The 20 inch octagon barrel is more than a nod to Old West lever guns. That extra steel up front adds a touch of muzzle weight that settles the rifle nicely on target, and the full-length sight radius helps you get the most out of the fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with its diamond insert and the brass bead front. Prefer glass? The receiver is grooved for 3/8 inch rimfire rings, so mounting a scope is quick and painless. With a 1:16 twist and Henry's reputation for rimfire accuracy, this one earns its keep on paper, steel, and small game alike.
Feeding the Henry H1 Western Frontier
The tube magazine swallows 16 rounds of .22 LR, and because it is chambered for .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle, you can run up to 23 Shorts for quiet backyard plinking or low-recoil practice with new shooters. Loading through the brass tube is simple, and the quarter-cock hammer position handles safety duty the traditional way, with no crossbolt interrupting the clean lines.
At 6.5 pounds with a 38 inch overall length and a 14 inch length of pull, the Western Frontier carries easily and fits most adults comfortably. It is the kind of rifle that makes you slow down and enjoy working the lever, whether that is a Saturday afternoon at the range or a walk through the timber after squirrels. Built in America by Henry Repeating Arms and backed by their well-known customer service, it is a rimfire you can hand down someday.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a scope on the Henry H1 Western Frontier?
Yes. The receiver has a 3/8 inch groove machined right in, so it accepts standard rimfire ring mounts without any drilling or tapping. Plenty of owners run a compact rimfire scope while keeping the semi-buckhorn irons zeroed underneath as a backup.
What ammo does the Western Frontier shoot?
This version is chambered for .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle, so you can mix and match through the tube magazine. It holds 16 rounds of .22 LR or up to 23 Shorts, which makes it great for quiet plinking sessions and teaching new shooters with softer loads.
How is the H1 Western Frontier different from the standard Frontier rifle?
The biggest difference is the buttstock. The Western Frontier swaps the straight stock for a checkered pistol grip profile in American walnut, which gives your shooting hand a more relaxed wrist angle and a bit more control. The 20 inch blued octagon barrel, black receiver, and smooth Henry action carry over from the original.
Does this Henry have a manual safety?
It uses a traditional quarter-cock hammer position instead of a crossbolt or tang safety. That keeps the lines clean and the operation simple, the same way classic lever guns have handled it for generations. Just bring the hammer to quarter cock when you are carrying with a loaded chamber.
