For those seeking a firearm that embodies simplicity, reliability, and timeless craftsmanship, the Henry H015 Single Shot Rifle in .357 Magnum (UPC: 619835400161) stands as a beacon of excellence. This iconic break-action rifle, available exclusively at DEGuns, offers a compelling blend of traditional aesthetics and modern performance, making it an ideal choice for a diverse range of shooting applications, from ethical hunting to precision target shooting and beyond.

Discover the Versatility of the .357 Magnum Cartridge in a Rifle Platform

The .357 Magnum, traditionally a powerful handgun cartridge, truly shines when fired from a rifle-length barrel like the Henry H015's 22-inch round barrel. Why choose a .357 Magnum rifle?

• Enhanced Ballistics: A longer barrel allows for a more complete powder burn, significantly increasing bullet velocity and kinetic energy compared to a handgun. This translates to flatter trajectories, greater accuracy at extended ranges, and more effective terminal performance on game.
• Reduced Recoil and Muzzle Blast: While powerful in a pistol, the .357 Magnum's recoil and muzzle blast are significantly tamed in a rifle, especially with the H015's robust steel receiver and solid rubber recoil pad. This makes for a more comfortable shooting experience, particularly beneficial for new shooters or those sensitive to recoil.
• Versatility for Various Game: The .357 Magnum in a rifle is surprisingly capable for hunting medium-sized game like deer and hogs at appropriate ranges (typically under 150 yards), as well as smaller game like coyotes and varmints. Its moderate velocity also makes it an excellent choice for pest control or plinking without excessive over-penetration.
• Ammunition Commonality: Many shooters who own .357 Magnum revolvers appreciate the ability to use the same ammunition in their rifle, simplifying logistics and reducing the need for multiple calibers of ammunition. This rifle is designed to chamber and fire standard .357 Magnum rounds reliably.

Unparalleled Simplicity and Reliability: The Break-Action Advantage

The Henry H015's single-shot, break-open action is a hallmark of its design, offering numerous advantages that appeal to both novice and experienced shooters:

• Inherent Safety: With no external manual safety to manipulate, the H015 relies on an ingenious rebounding hammer system. This design ensures the hammer cannot make contact with the firing pin unless the trigger is deliberately pulled, significantly reducing the risk of accidental discharge. Additionally, an interlock system prevents the barrel from opening if the hammer is cocked and, conversely, prevents the barrel from closing if the hammer is cocked while open. This simple yet robust safety mechanism builds immediate confidence for any user.
• Effortless Loading and Unloading: The break-open design allows for direct access to the chamber, making loading a single round straightforward and swift. Unloading is equally simple, providing clear visual confirmation of an empty chamber – a crucial aspect of firearm safety and handling.
• Ease of Maintenance: The ability to "break open" the action provides unobstructed access to the bore from the breech end. This facilitates thorough and efficient cleaning, preserving barrel longevity and accuracy. There are no complex internal mechanisms or magazines to disassemble, streamlining the cleaning process.
• Exceptional Durability: Fewer moving parts inherently mean greater reliability and less chance of malfunction. The Henry H015's robust steel frame and minimalist design ensure it can withstand years of use in various field conditions, making it a dependable companion for hunting trips or challenging outdoor environments.
• A Perfect Learning Platform: For new shooters, the single-shot rifle removes the complexities of magazine changes or semi-automatic actions, allowing them to focus entirely on fundamental shooting skills: stance, sight picture, breath control, and trigger discipline. The immediate feedback of a single shot encourages deliberate practice and improves shot placement.

Exquisite American Walnut: A Nod to Timeless Craftsmanship

The stock of the Henry H015 is crafted from genuine American Walnut, a material long revered in firearm design for its beauty, strength, and ergonomic qualities.

• Aesthetic Appeal: The rich grain and warm tones of American Walnut give the rifle a classic, distinguished appearance that stands apart from synthetic alternatives. It’s a rifle that looks as good as it performs.
• Ergonomic Comfort: The stock features a curved pistol grip wrist, providing a natural and comfortable hand position that promotes consistent grip and control. This ergonomic design reduces shooter fatigue, especially during extended range sessions or long waits in the field.
• Effective Recoil Management: A solid rubber recoil pad is meticulously fitted to the buttstock, effectively absorbing felt recoil and enhancing shooting comfort. This feature is particularly appreciated when firing the more potent .357 Magnum loads.
• Traditional Length of Pull: With a length of pull (LOP) of 14 inches, the H015 is designed to fit a wide range of shooters comfortably, ensuring proper eye relief and a stable shooting platform.
• Integrated Swivel Studs: For convenience and portability in the field, the rifle comes equipped with swivel studs, allowing for easy attachment of a sling. This is an essential feature for hunters or anyone needing to carry their rifle over long distances.

Precision Sighting Options for Every Scenario

Accuracy is paramount, and the Henry H015 offers versatile sighting solutions to meet diverse shooting preferences:

• Classic Iron Sights: The rifle comes standard with traditional and highly effective iron sights, featuring a prominent brass bead front sight for quick target acquisition and a reliable leaf rear sight for precise aiming. These durable sights are perfect for hunting in dense cover or for those who prefer the simplicity of open sights.
• Scope-Ready Design: Recognizing the desire for enhanced precision, the steel receiver is factory drilled and tapped, ready to accept an optional scope mount. This allows shooters to easily mount an optic of their choice, maximizing the .357 Magnum's potential for accuracy at longer ranges or in low-light conditions. Whether you prefer a red dot for fast acquisition or a high-magnification scope for pinpoint accuracy, the H015 is ready.

Rugged Construction and Thoughtful Design Details

Every component of the Henry H015 is engineered for durability and performance:

• Robust Steel Receiver: The heart of the rifle, its steel receiver, provides exceptional strength and rigidity, contributing to the rifle's overall durability and accuracy. The blued finish on both the receiver and barrel not only provides a classic look but also offers crucial protection against corrosion and wear in various environmental conditions.
• Optimized Barrel and Twist Rate: The 22-inch round barrel is not merely for aesthetics; its length is optimized to extract maximum velocity from the .357 Magnum cartridge. The 1:16" twist rate is meticulously chosen to stabilize a wide range of bullet weights commonly available for the .357 Magnum, ensuring consistent accuracy across different ammunition types.
• Balanced Handling: Weighing in at 7.18 lbs with an overall length (OAL) of 37.50 inches, the Henry H015 strikes an excellent balance between portability and shooting stability. It's light enough to carry comfortably on long hunts but substantial enough to provide a stable platform for accurate shooting.
