Description
There's something about running a lever gun that never gets old, and Henry took that feeling and gave it a modern job to do. The H1 X Model in .22 WMR wears black synthetic furniture with a pistol-grip buttstock, a 16.5-inch round blued steel barrel with a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle, and an integrated Picatinny rail machined right into the receiver. At 5 pounds even, it's the lightest rimfire lever action Henry makes, and with a 34.5-inch overall length it carries like a rifle that wants to go places with you.
Why the H1 X Model in .22 Magnum Makes Sense
The .22 WMR chambering is where this rifle earns its keep. You get roughly double the energy of a .22 LR with barely any recoil, which turns squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, and pasture varmints into fair game well past where a standard .22 runs out of steam. The tubular magazine holds 10 rounds, and the smooth Henry action cycles them as fast as you can work the lever. A quarter-cock hammer position rounds out the controls, keeping things simple and familiar.
Sights, Optics, and Suppressor-Ready Setup
Out of the box you get a fiber optic front sight paired with a fully adjustable fiber optic rear, so the sight picture is quick and bright even in low timber light. When you're ready for glass, the Picatinny rail on top takes a scope or red dot without any drilling or extra bases. And that threaded muzzle means adding a can is as easy as spinning one on. Suppressed .22 Magnum out of a lever gun is one of those combinations you have to try to appreciate.
Fit and Finish on the Henry X Model Rimfire
Henry includes stock spacers that let you set the length of pull to 13.5, 13.75, or 14 inches, so the rifle can fit a smaller-framed shooter or a full-grown adult in winter layers. Like everything Henry builds, it's made in America and backed by a company known for standing behind its rifles. Whether it lives behind the truck seat, rides along on small game hunts, or just eats bulk ammo on range days, this one pulls its weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put a suppressor on the Henry H1 X Model .22 WMR?
Yes, the 16.5-inch barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 from the factory, which is the standard thread pitch for most rimfire suppressors. Just make sure whatever can you choose is rated for .22 WMR, since the Magnum runs hotter and faster than standard .22 LR. A thread protector should stay on the muzzle when you're shooting without one.
Does the H1 X Model use a detachable magazine or a tube?
It feeds from a tubular magazine under the barrel that holds 10 rounds of .22 WMR. You load it the classic Henry way, by pulling the inner magazine tube and dropping rounds in through the loading port. It's a simple, reliable system that has been a Henry staple for decades.
Can I mount a scope or red dot on this rifle?
Absolutely. The receiver has an integrated Picatinny rail on top, so a scope in Picatinny ringmounts or a compact red dot bolts right on with no drilling or extra bases needed. If you'd rather run irons, the fiber optic front and fully adjustable fiber optic rear sights give you a fast, bright sight picture as-is.
How does .22 WMR compare to .22 LR for small game and varmints?
The .22 Magnum pushes 40-grain bullets close to 2,000 feet per second, which delivers noticeably more energy and flatter trajectory than .22 LR. That extends your effective range on squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, and similar critters while keeping recoil next to nothing. Ammo costs more than .22 LR, but the added reach is worth it for hunting duty.
