Key Features

• Geared Action with Chromed Bolt — Why it matters: The geared mechanism ensures smooth cycling without the slop found in traditional lever actions, while the chromed bolt reduces friction and maintains consistent headspace for sub-MOA accuracy.
• Drilled-and-Tapped Alloy Receiver with Scope Mount — Why it matters: This allows you to mount a modern optic directly out of the box, turning a classic platform into a precision rifle capable of reaching 600+ yards.
• Two-Piece Oil-Finished American Walnut Stock with Laser-Cut Checkering — Why it matters: The oil finish protects the wood without a glossy glare, and the checkering provides a secure grip in wet or cold conditions, keeping the rifle stable during offhand shots.
• Solid Rubber Recoil Pad — Why it matters: The 6.5 Creedmoor produces manageable recoil, but the thick pad further tames it, allowing for rapid follow-up shots without bruising your shoulder during long range sessions.
• Exposed Hammer — Why it matters: The hammer gives you a visual and tactile indication of the rifle’s cocked status, letting you lower it silently for safe carry in the field.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the collector or hunter who appreciates the craftsmanship of a lever action but demands the ballistic performance of a modern cartridge. It suits those who hunt deer, pronghorn, or hogs at moderate to extended ranges, as well as precision sport shooters who want a unique platform for steel targets or competitions like the Lever Action Silhouette series. According to Henry Repeating Arms, the Long Ranger is designed for the shooter who refuses to choose between tradition and accuracy.

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Accurate out of the box; smooth geared action; beautiful walnut stock; includes scope mount; uses detachable box magazines for quick reloads.
• Cons: No open sights included — you must mount a scope, which adds to the total cost and may deter purists who prefer iron sights.

Note: Timney and Geissele manufacture triggers, not complete rifles. They are included to show that upgrading a bolt-action or AR platform to match the Long Ranger’s accuracy can cost several hundred dollars, making the complete Henry a value proposition for those wanting a lever gun that shoots like a modern precision rifle.

FAQ

Is the Henry Long Ranger accurate at long range?

Yes. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, combined with the chromed bolt and geared action, produces consistent lock-up. Many shooters report sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with quality factory ammunition. The included scope mount makes it easy to add a high-magnification optic for 600-yard shots.

Does the Long Ranger come with iron sights?

No, the rifle ships without open sights. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and an aluminum scope mount is included. This design focuses on precision shooting with optics rather than traditional iron-sight use.

What is the magazine capacity of the Henry Long Ranger?

The rifle comes with a single 4-round removable steel-box magazine. Additional magazines are available from Henry. The detachable box design allows for quick reloads in the field or at the range.

Can I use this rifle for deer hunting?

Absolutely. The 6.5 Creedmoor is an excellent deer cartridge, offering flat trajectories and mild recoil. The Long Ranger’s exposed hammer and smooth action make it a natural for still-hunting and treestand work.
