Description
There's something refreshing about a rifle that does one thing and does it well. The Henry H015-44 is a break action single shot chambered in .44 Magnum, and it will happily digest .44 Special too, which makes it a soft-shooting practice gun and a legitimate deer rifle in the same package. The 22 inch round blued barrel wears a 1:20 twist that stabilizes the heavy bullets this cartridge is known for, and the whole rifle comes in at 6.96 pounds with a trim 37.5 inch overall length. That's a gun you can carry all day to a far-off stand and not think twice about it.
Built the Henry Way
Henry didn't cut corners just because this is their most straightforward rifle. You get a genuine American walnut pistol grip stock with a black rubber recoil pad that takes the sting out of full-power magnum loads, a solid steel receiver in a classic blued finish, and sling swivel studs already installed. The locking lever behind the hammer pivots to either side to break the action open, so lefties get the same easy operation as everyone else. Instead of a manual safety, the design uses a rebounding hammer that can't reach the firing pin unless the trigger is deliberately pulled, along with an interlock that keeps the action and hammer from working against each other. Simple, clean, and quick to load or unload.
Sights and Scope Options on the H015-44
Out of the box you get a brass bead front sight paired with a fully adjustable folding leaf rear, which is a proper setup for woods ranges where the .44 Magnum shines. Want glass? The receiver comes drilled and tapped for a Weaver 82 mount, and this rifle rewards a good low-power scope. Owners consistently report tight groups and a crisp trigger, and the walnut tends to draw compliments at the range.
For new hunters, brush country whitetail, hogs, or anyone who appreciates the discipline of making one round count, this little Henry is a keeper. Made in the USA, like everything Henry builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Henry H015-44 shoot .44 Special as well as .44 Magnum?
Yes. Like most firearms chambered in .44 Magnum, this rifle will also chamber and fire .44 Special. Specials are a great choice for lighter-recoiling practice sessions or introducing a newer shooter to a centerfire rifle, while full-power magnums handle deer and hog duty.
Can I mount a scope on the H015-44?
You can. The steel receiver comes from the factory drilled and tapped for a Weaver 82 style mount, so adding a base and rings is a quick job. A fixed or low-power variable scope pairs nicely with the .44 Magnum's effective range, and the folding leaf rear sight tucks down out of the way once glass is installed.
Does the Henry Single Shot have a manual safety?
There is no external manual safety on this rifle. Instead, it uses a rebounding hammer that cannot contact the firing pin unless the trigger is deliberately pulled, plus an interlock system that prevents the barrel from opening while the hammer is cocked. It's a simple, time-tested arrangement common to quality break action guns.
Is the Henry H015-44 a good deer rifle?
Within the .44 Magnum's wheelhouse, absolutely. Out of a 22 inch barrel the cartridge picks up noticeably more velocity than from a revolver, making it a solid choice for whitetail and hogs at woods distances. At under 7 pounds with a 37.5 inch overall length, it's also an easy rifle to pack into a stand or still-hunt with all day.
