Description
Lever guns and long-range work used to be two different conversations. The Henry Long Ranger in 6.5 Creedmoor puts them in the same sentence. Instead of the traditional rear-locking design, Henry built this one around a geared action that drives a machined, chromed steel bolt with a six-lug rotary head straight into a barrel extension. That gives you the kind of consistent, rigid lockup you expect from a bolt gun, which is exactly why this rifle shoots the way it does. You still get the exposed hammer, the forged steel lever, and that familiar throw, just with a whole lot more reach behind it.
Built to Stretch the 6.5 Creedmoor
The 22 inch free-floated sporter barrel wears a classic blued finish and runs a 1:8 twist, so it stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets that make the Creedmoor such a favorite for deer, antelope, and steel at distance. Feeding comes from a flush-fit detachable box magazine with a steel body and floorplate, holding 4 rounds of pointed spitzer ammo that tube-fed levers simply can't run. The lightweight aerospace alloy receiver ejects to the side and comes drilled and tapped from the factory, with a scope mount included in the box. This model ships without iron sights, which tells you what Henry had in mind: put good glass on it and go hunting.
Long Ranger Details That Matter in the Field
The two-piece American walnut stock carries crisp laser-cut checkering on the grip and forend, plus sling swivel studs and a solid rubber recoil pad that keeps the rifle planted on your shoulder. At 7 pounds and 42.5 inches overall, it carries easily all day and comes up quick in the timber. The transfer bar safety rides inside the hammer, so there's no button or slider to fumble with when your hands are cold or gloved. If you've always liked the feel of a lever gun but wanted the accuracy and modern chambering to hunt open country, this is the rifle that closes that gap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Henry Long Ranger 6.5 Creedmoor come with iron sights?
No, this version (H014-65) ships without open sights. The alloy receiver is drilled and tapped and includes a scope mount, so it's set up to run optics right out of the box. Henry does make a sighted version under a different model number if you want irons.
Is the Long Ranger accurate enough for long-range hunting?
Yes, and that's the whole point of the rifle. The geared action locks a six-lug rotating bolt directly into a barrel extension for bolt-gun-style consistency, and the 22 inch free-floated barrel with a 1:8 twist handles modern 6.5 Creedmoor loads well. It's a legitimate choice for deer and antelope at distances most lever guns can't touch.
Can I shoot pointed spitzer bullets in this lever action?
Absolutely. The Long Ranger feeds from a detachable box magazine instead of a tube, so pointed, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets are safe to load. That's a big part of why it pairs so well with the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge.
Does the Henry Long Ranger have a manual safety?
There's no external safety button or slider. It uses an in-hammer transfer bar safety, which prevents the rifle from firing unless the trigger is fully pulled. That keeps the lines clean and makes it easy to operate with gloves on.
