There's something refreshing about a rifle that does one thing and does it well. The Henry H15 Single Shot in .45-70 Government is a break-action centerfire with a 22-inch round blued steel barrel, a checkered American walnut stock, and not much else getting in the way. Crack it open, drop in a round, cock the hammer, and you're in business. At 37.5 inches overall and 6.83 pounds, it carries easily through thick timber and handles nicely in a blind or treestand where a longer rifle just gets awkward.
The .45-70 has been putting meat in freezers since 1873, and it hits plenty hard for whitetail, hogs, black bear, and bigger game at woods ranges. The 1:20 twist stabilizes the heavy bullets this cartridge is known for, and the solid rubber recoil pad takes a real bite out of the kick. Instead of a crossbolt or tang safety, Henry uses a rebounding hammer that can't reach the firing pin unless you deliberately pull the trigger, plus an interlock that keeps the barrel from opening with the hammer cocked. It's a clean, traditional setup that stays out of your way.
From the factory you get a fully adjustable folding leaf rear sight matched with a brass bead front, the same style bead Henry puts on its lever guns. If you'd rather run glass, the rifle is drilled and tapped for a Weaver 82 mount, and aftermarket rails are available that let you mount a scope for longer pokes across a bean field.
Some folks assume a single shot means bargain-bin quality, but Henry builds these to the same standard as the rest of their centerfire lineup. The walnut is genuinely nice, the action locks up tight, and sling swivel studs come standard so it's ready for a long walk in. Made in America, simple as a rifle gets, and chambered in a cartridge with a century and a half of proof behind it.
Yes. The rifle comes drilled and tapped for a Weaver 82 mount, and aftermarket Picatinny rails are made specifically for this model. Keep in mind the rear leaf sight may need to be removed for some rail setups to sit properly. The factory brass bead front and folding leaf rear work great on their own if you prefer to hunt with irons.
There's no external crossbolt or tang safety. Instead, it uses a rebounding hammer that physically cannot contact the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled, along with an interlock that prevents the barrel from opening while the hammer is cocked. It's a clean, traditional design that a lot of hunters prefer over add-on safeties.
.45-70 is a stout cartridge in any rifle this light, but the solid rubber recoil pad does a good job soaking up the push. Standard-pressure loads are very manageable for most folks, and it's a soft shove more than a sharp crack. If you're recoil sensitive, milder factory loads or trapdoor-level handloads make it downright pleasant.
This is a classic woods hunting rifle. The .45-70 hits hard on whitetail, hogs, black bear, and even elk or moose at moderate ranges, and the compact 37.5-inch overall length makes it easy to handle in blinds, treestands, and thick brush. It's also a fun, simple rifle for anyone who appreciates the discipline of making one shot count.
