Description
Lever guns and long range work used to be two different conversations. The Henry Long Ranger changes that by taking the lever action everyone loves and building it around a geared mechanism that drives a machined, chromed steel bolt with a 6-lug rotary head into a barrel extension. That is bolt action style lock-up, shot after shot, which is exactly why Henry can chamber this rifle in a true modern cartridge like .308 Winchester without asking you to give up the speed and feel of working a lever.
What Sets the Long Ranger .308 Apart
The 20 inch round sporter barrel is free-floated and blued, with a 1:10 twist that stabilizes the heavier .308 bullets most hunters reach for. Feeding comes from a flush-fit, steel-bodied detachable magazine holding 4 rounds, with a steel floorplate and a release button on the right side of the receiver. That detachable box also means you can run pointed, polymer-tipped, or spitzer bullets that tube-fed lever guns can't touch. The lightweight aerospace alloy receiver keeps the whole package at a very carryable 7 pounds, and side ejection keeps your optic mounting options wide open.
Built for Glass, Dressed in Walnut
This model ships without iron sights because it is meant to wear a scope. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, Henry includes a scope mount in the box, and a hammer extension is included so you can still reach the hammer comfortably under your optic. The two-piece American walnut stock features clean laser-cut checkering on the straight grip and forearm, sling swivel studs for your favorite carry setup, and a solid black rubber recoil pad that takes the sting out of .308 loads. A transfer bar safety means the rifle only fires when you deliberately pull the trigger.
For whitetail, hogs, black bear, or elk at honest hunting distances, this rifle covers a lot of ground. It has the fast handling of a traditional lever gun with the accuracy and cartridge selection to reach out well past where older lever calibers run out of steam.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Henry Long Ranger .308 come with sights?
No, this version (H014-308) ships without iron sights because it is set up for optics from the start. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and Henry includes a scope mount in the box along with a hammer extension so you can cock the hammer easily under a mounted scope. If you want factory irons, Henry offers a sighted version under a different model number.
Can I shoot pointed or polymer-tipped bullets in the Long Ranger?
Yes, and that is one of the biggest advantages of this rifle. Unlike tube-fed lever guns that require flat-nose bullets for safety, the Long Ranger feeds from a detachable box magazine, so any standard .308 Win load is fair game. That opens the door to modern spitzer and tipped hunting bullets with much better downrange performance.
How accurate is the Henry Long Ranger in .308?
The design has accuracy baked in. The 20 inch barrel is free-floated, the 1:10 twist handles common .308 bullet weights well, and the 6-lug rotary bolt locks into a barrel extension for consistent lock-up much like a bolt action. With a quality scope and ammo it likes, this rifle is well suited to deer, hogs, and elk at practical hunting ranges.
How heavy is the Long Ranger and is it comfortable to shoot in .308?
The rifle weighs 7 pounds bare thanks to its lightweight aerospace alloy receiver, so it carries nicely on all-day hunts. Recoil from .308 is noticeable in any 7 pound rifle, but the solid black rubber recoil pad and 14 inch length of pull keep it manageable. Most hunters find it comfortable enough for a full day at the bench or in the field.
