Description
There's a reason Henry rimfire lever guns end up behind truck seats and next to back doors all over the country. The H1 Western takes that famously slick action and dresses it up with a checkered pistol grip stock in American walnut, then chambers it in .22 WMR for folks who want more reach and authority than a standard .22 LR can offer. The result is a 5.25 pound rifle that points fast, cycles smooth, and hits with enough energy to handle rabbits, squirrels, and stubborn pests well past typical rimfire distances.
What Makes the H1 Western Worth a Look
The 18.5 inch round blued steel barrel carries a 1:16 twist that stabilizes magnum rimfire loads nicely, and the 12-round tubular magazine keeps you shooting without constant reloads. Up top you get a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight matched with a hooded blade front, the same sight picture lever gun fans have trusted for generations. If glass is more your speed, the black receiver comes grooved for 3/8 inch ringmounts, so adding a rimfire scope takes minutes, not a trip to the gunsmith. A 14 inch length of pull fits most adults comfortably, and the traditional quarter cock hammer keeps the manual of arms simple and familiar.
Living With a Henry H1 Western .22 Magnum
At 36.5 inches overall, this rifle carries easily through the woods and stows just as easily in a compact case. The checkered walnut grip gives your firing hand real purchase when your palms are sweaty or your gloves are on, a practical upgrade over a slick straight stock. Feeding is handled through the classic tube loading system, which runs .22 WMR ammo reliably and keeps the rifle's lines clean.
A Rimfire That Pulls Double Duty
Plenty of rifles are fun at the range, and plenty are useful in the field, but the H1 Western does both without breaking a sweat. It builds solid fundamentals for newer marksmen thanks to the deliberate pace of a lever action, and it gives experienced hands a genuinely capable small game rifle backed by Henry's American craftsmanship and lifetime warranty support. Model H001PG-22M, made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a scope on the Henry H1 Western?
Yes. The receiver is grooved for standard 3/8 inch rimfire ringmounts, so mounting a scope or red dot is quick and straightforward. The iron sights stay on the barrel, so you can always go back to the semi-buckhorn setup if you prefer.
How does the H1 Western load? Is the magazine removable?
It uses a traditional under-barrel tubular magazine rather than a detachable box mag. You pull the inner magazine tube, drop rounds into the loading port, and slide the tube back in. It holds 12 rounds of .22 WMR and feeds smoothly through the lever action.
What's the difference between the .22 WMR version and the .22 LR H1 Western?
The .22 WMR (also called .22 Magnum) version delivers noticeably more velocity and downrange energy, which makes it a better pick for small game hunting and pest control at longer distances. The trade-off is a 12-round capacity versus 15 rounds of .22 LR, and magnum ammo costs a bit more per box. If you mostly plink, the LR makes sense; if you work the field, the Magnum earns its keep.
Is the Henry H1 Western good for newer or younger marksmen?
It's a great fit. Recoil in .22 WMR is very mild, the lever action encourages a deliberate shooting pace that builds solid fundamentals, and at 5.25 pounds it's easy to hold steady. The 14 inch length of pull suits most teens and adults comfortably.
