Why Choose the Henry H001M Classic Lever .22 Magnum?

The Henry H001M stands out in the crowded rimfire market for several compelling reasons, making it a highly recommended option for a broad spectrum of users.

• Enhanced Stopping Power: Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR), this rifle delivers significantly more energy and a flatter trajectory than the ubiquitous .22 LR. This translates to greater effectiveness on small game like squirrels, rabbits, and grouse, and offers the necessary punch for varmints such as groundhogs, raccoons, and even coyotes at closer ranges. If your primary concern is reliable pest control or ensuring quick, humane kills in the field, the .22 WMR cartridge is a superior choice.
• Legendary Lever-Action Reliability: The quintessential American lever action is renowned for its smooth, robust, and dependable operation. The Henry H001M embodies this tradition, offering quick follow-up shots and a mechanism that is simple to operate and incredibly reliable, even in challenging outdoor conditions. The tactile experience of working the lever is part of the rifle's timeless appeal and contributes to a highly engaging shooting session.
• Classic American Walnut Aesthetics: Beyond its performance, the H001M is a thing of beauty. It features a deluxe checkered American walnut stock that not only looks stunning but also provides a secure and comfortable grip. The deep blued steel barrel and black receiver complement the rich wood grain, creating a rifle that feels as good in your hands as it looks on the range or in the field. For those who appreciate traditional firearm craftsmanship, the H001M is a standout.
• Precision and Accuracy: With a 19.25-inch blued steel barrel featuring a 1:16" twist rate, the Henry H001M is built for accuracy. This barrel length offers an optimal balance between maneuverability and ballistic performance, ensuring that .22 WMR rounds achieve their full velocity potential for flat shooting and precise shot placement. Whether you're aiming at small targets on the range or a wary squirrel in the woods, you can trust the H001M to deliver.
• Versatile Sighting Options: The rifle comes equipped with a hooded blade front sight and an adjustable rear sight, providing an excellent iron sight picture for immediate use. Furthermore, its 3/8" grooved receiver is specifically designed for easy and quick scope mounting. This flexibility allows shooters to customize their sighting system based on their preferences and the demands of their activity, whether it's precision long-range varminting or close-quarters brush hunting.
• Generous Magazine Capacity: The H001M boasts an 11+1 round capacity, meaning you have 11 rounds in the tubular magazine plus one in the chamber ready to go. This ample capacity reduces the need for frequent reloads, allowing you to focus more on your shooting and less on logistical interruptions during hunting trips or extended plinking sessions.

Maintaining Your Henry H001M
