Description
There is something refreshing about a rifle that does one thing and does it well. The Henry Single Shot in .360 Buckhammer is a break-action centerfire built around a 22-inch round blued barrel, a steel receiver, and a genuine American walnut stock with a curved pistol grip wrist. At 37.5 inches overall and right around 6.7 pounds, it carries easy through timber and settles in nicely on shooting sticks or a rail. The .360 Buckhammer chambering is what makes this one special. It is a straight-wall cartridge that pushes a .358 caliber bullet with plenty of authority for whitetail, hogs, and black bear at practical hunting distances, and it does it with recoil that stays friendly, helped along by the solid rubber recoil pad.
Sighting Options on the Henry .360 Buckhammer Single Shot
From the factory you get a brass bead front sight and a fully adjustable folding leaf rear, a setup that has been putting venison in freezers for generations. If you would rather run glass, the receiver comes drilled and tapped for a Weaver 82 style base, so mounting a scope or red dot is a quick weekend project. The 1:12 twist barrel stabilizes the common 180 and 200 grain Buckhammer loads well, and Henry rates this platform for game out to about 200 yards.
Built Simple, Built Safe
Instead of a manual safety, this rifle uses a rebounding hammer that cannot reach the firing pin unless the trigger is deliberately pulled, plus an interlock that keeps the barrel from opening while the hammer is cocked. The extractor lifts the spent case for easy removal rather than flinging brass into the leaves, which is a nice touch when you want to leave the woods the way you found them. Sling swivel studs come standard, and the 14-inch length of pull fits most adult frames comfortably.
Why the H015-360BH Earns a Spot in the Cabinet
This is a great first deer rifle, a fine loaner for camp, and a genuinely enjoyable one-shot challenge for experienced hunters. Walnut, blued steel, and a cartridge with real thump. Hard to argue with that combination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a scope on the Henry Single Shot .360 Buckhammer?
Yes. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory for a Weaver 82 style base, so adding a scope or red dot is straightforward. Plenty of owners run a low-power variable on these for straight-wall deer hunting. The factory brass bead front and folding leaf rear sights work great if you prefer to keep it iron-sighted.
What is the .360 Buckhammer cartridge good for?
The .360 Buckhammer is a straight-wall centerfire round that sends .358 caliber bullets, typically 180 or 200 grains, at speeds well suited to whitetail, hogs, and similar game. Henry rates this rifle for large game out to about 200 yards. It hits noticeably harder than older straight-wall options while keeping recoil very manageable in this 22-inch barreled rifle.
Does the Henry Single Shot have a manual safety?
No external safety switch. Instead, it uses a rebounding hammer that physically cannot contact the firing pin unless the trigger is deliberately pulled, along with an interlock that prevents the barrel from opening while the hammer is cocked. It is a simple, proven system that keeps operation quick in the field.
Does this rifle eject spent cases automatically?
No, and that is by design. The Henry Single Shot uses a non-ejecting extractor that lifts the fired case out of the chamber so you can pluck it out by hand. That means no hunting for brass in the leaves and no losing cases if you handload for the .360 Buckhammer.
