Lever guns have always been brush rifles. Henry broke that mold with the Long Ranger, a lever action that feeds from a detachable box magazine and uses a modern bolt design so it can handle longer, pointier bullets. This H01465 is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor.

The 6.5 Creedmoor is known for flat trajectory and mild recoil, which has made it popular with deer hunters and long-range target shooters. Putting it in a lever action gives you an alternative to the bolt gun, with fast follow-up shots and a familiar feel if you grew up on levers. Wipe it down after each outing and keep a light coat of oil on the steel, and it will look good for the next owner too.

The blued steel finish is traditional, and the Long Ranger carries on Henry's reputation for good wood and smooth operation. A lever rifle that wears a scope well and shoots a modern long-range round is a unique piece.

It makes sense for hunters who like lever handling but want reach past what a .30-30 delivers. It ships to your local FFL dealer, where you complete the background check at pickup.
