H1 Classic Rifle & Carbine
The Most Popular Lever-Action .22 In The World
The H1 Classic Rifle & Carbine is the rifle that introduced more shooters to lever actions than any other, and for decades it has remained the benchmark for what a great .22 rifle should be. Simple, accurate, affordable, and built with premium materials, the H1 Classic is the most popular .22 lever action in the world for good reason.
Built in Rice Lake, Wisconsin and crafted with genuine American walnut, the H1 Classic offers a level of fit, finish, and shooting enjoyment rarely found at its price point. Whether you’re looking for a first rifle, a training rifle, a small-game companion, or simply the best lever action .22 to keep within reach, the H1 delivers unmatched value and timeless appeal.
At the heart of the H1 Classic is its exceptionally smooth lever action. The action cycles effortlessly, so smooth that many first-time shooters remark they can hardly believe there are internal parts at work. That smoothness, combined with the rifle’s natural balance and light weight, makes it easy and enjoyable to shoot for long sessions at the range or in the field.
The H1 Classic family is offered in Rifle and Carbine configurations, as well as .22 Short/Long/Long Rifle and .22 Magnum chamberings. The Classic Rifle models feature an 18.5″ barrel, offering a longer sight radius and slightly higher velocities, while the Classic Carbine models use a handier 16.5″ barrel for quicker handling and easier carry.
Chambered in .22 S/L/LR, the H1 Classic Rifle and Carbine offer unmatched versatility, allowing shooters to run everything from quiet .22 Short to full-power .22 Long Rifle. For those looking for more punch, the .22 Magnum variants provide increased velocity and energy while retaining the same smooth action and classic handling.
Features include side ejection, an adjustable rear sight, a hooded front sight, and a 3/8″ grooved receiver for easy scope mounting. The blued steel barrel is machined with precision rifling for excellent accuracy, and the tubular magazine offers generous capacity making the H1 a reliable and fun alternative to a semi-automatic .22.
Affordable, dependable, and built with pride, the H1 Classic Rifle & Carbine proves that a budget lever action .22 doesn’t have to feel cheap. It’s a rifle that shoots great, looks right, and earns its place in gun cabinets, barns, camps, and memories across America.
First I would like to thank you for all the swag that henry has sent for our event June 2. Secondly I would like to tell you about one of our newest customers. Noah is 12 years old and worked the last year mowing lawns, helping around the house and whatever he could do to earn a buck. After saving the year he came to my store to purchase his first 22LR, after looking at all the guns I had available, approx 6, he settled in and chose the Henry 22LR and paid for it himself and went to the range and had a blast shooting. Attached is the picture of Noah and his first purchase. Again thank you for your support and thank you for making a fine american firearm.
Mr. Imperato,
Dear Sir,
Hello, Im a locomotive engineer from Canada. I recently bought a new henry 22 carbine. I just can’t get over the quality and smooth action for a fair price for the working man. Its fun to shoot, doesn’t care what type or brand of 22 ammo you put in it. I purchaced it for a handy sized rifle for hunting small game. Now I’m looking at selling my winchester for a henry 30-30 for big game.
Mr. Imperato,
I have been a longtime lover of lever action rifles. I have owned Winchester, Remington, and Browning lever actions. My first experience with Henry was ordering a county engraved model for a fund raiser. First, let me say that I am a tool maker who has done gunsmithing. When the Henry arrived and I picked it up, it pointed perfectly and made all other lever actions feel sloppy. The Henry has a precision feel that no other rifles come close to. Since the feel of the first Henry, I have purchased three more. Every one has been a joy to shoot and I just wanted to say thank you.
Dear Sir,
Hi Anthony,
Mr. Anthony, I would like to compliment you on your fine firearms. I have a classic 22 Lever Action Rifle that I have bought for controlling predators around my property. I have a nice flock of backyard chickens that I raise here in Florida which will always draw a meal for anything especially at night. I like shooting the 22 shorts mainly not to disturb my neighbors at night. I have owned several 22’s and still do, but the Henry is my go to rifle when predators are lurking around the chicken coop. Keep up with this fine tradition of building fine rifles. Even though I own a 45/70 from your competition, My next purchase will be a Henry 45/70!
Just wanted to let you know that I recently bought a Classic Lever Action Rifle to add to my collection. I recently took it to the range and was blown away with it’s accuracy right out of the box! It’s an incredible rifle and will pair nicely with my new Ruger Wrangler for the Cowboy Action Club I’m trying to start at my local range. Thanks again for making such a great product. Btw, my Silver Big Boy 44 mag is working just fine. Thanks for all the hard work on that project. I really appreciate it.Specifications
