Rice Lake, Wis. – October 30, 2025
The Lever Action Supreme Rifle (LASR) from Henry Repeating Arms was just named 2025 Rifle of the Year by Guns & Ammo magazine, one of the firearm industry’s most respected and widely distributed publications.
Selected through their rigorous annual evaluation process, which includes extensive field testing, in-store availability checks, and value assessments, the LASR rose above every other new rifle introduced in 2025 to earn the top honor.
In their feature story, which hits newsstands on November 5th, Guns & Ammo praised Henry’s innovation and engineering, writing:
“Henry’s achievement is nothing short of remarkable.”
The editors highlighted the Lever Action Supreme Rifle’s ability to reliably feed from commonly available MSR-pattern detachable box magazines, an unprecedented feature for a lever-action rifle in large-scale production, and the proprietary quad-bar linkage action that allows flawless, smooth operation without interference from the magazine. They also recognized the rifle’s sub-MOA accuracy potential, suppressor-ready design, exceptional handling qualities, and the usage of premium materials.
“We set out with this rifle to raise the bar for America’s most iconic rifle platform, and this award suggests that the team was able to accomplish just that,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “We’re honored that Guns & Ammo has recognized the fruits of our labor, and I am incredibly proud of the many bright minds that came together to make this rifle a reality.”
Chambered in .223 Wylde or .300 Blackout, the LASR is available at Henry dealers nationwide with an MSRP of $1,299. For more information about the Henry Lever Action Supreme Rifle, visit HenryUSA.com.
