Henry H1 Bandit Rifle: A Compact Companion for Plinking and Precision

When you pick up the Henry H1 Bandit Rifle, you immediately notice how it balances a full-sized rifle feel with a remarkably portable form. Chambered in both .22 S/L/LR and .22 Magnum, this little lever action is built for shooters who value versatility and ease of handling. Whether you are teaching a new shooter, clearing pests on the homestead, or just enjoying a quiet afternoon at the range, the Henry H1 Bandit Rifle delivers reliable performance without the bulk of a traditional long gun.

Overview

The Henry H1 Bandit Rifle is a compact lever-action that bridges the gap between a youth rifle and a full-sized firearm. With an overall length of just over 30 inches, it maneuvers easily in tight spaces and packs well for hiking or truck storage. The iconic brasslite receiver and American walnut stock give it that classic Henry look, while the 12.5-inch barrel keeps it nimble. Available in two popular rimfire calibers, this rifle is a natural choice for anyone looking to add a lightweight, accurate shooter to their collection.

Features & Specs

The Henry H1 Bandit Rifle is built around a smooth, reliable lever action that cycles .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle interchangeably in the .22 version, or dedicated .22 Magnum in the WMR model. The fit and finish are typical of Henry Repeating Arms: tight, clean, and ready for years of use.

• Chambered in .22 S/L/LR or .22 Magnum, giving you flexibility for everything from cheap plinking ammo to high-velocity varmint loads
• 12.5-inch round barrel with a full-length magazine tube holding 12 rounds of .22 LR or 9 rounds of .22 Magnum
• Brasslite receiver, American walnut straight-grip stock, and a smooth-action lever with a large loop for gloved hands
• Adjustable rear sight and brass bead front sight for fast, intuitive aiming
• Weighs only 4.5 pounds, making it easy to carry all day or hand to a younger shooter

While the barrel is short, the Henry H1 Bandit Rifle is still surprisingly accurate at typical rimfire distances. The action is slick right out of the box, and the large lever loop makes it easy to operate even with heavy gloves. This is a rifle that rewards practice and feels natural in the hands.

Who It’s For

The Henry H1 Bandit Rifle is designed for shooters who need a compact, dependable rimfire for a variety of roles. It is an excellent choice for backpackers, campers, and those who keep a truck gun for small game or varmints. Parents and instructors will appreciate the manageable size and low recoil when teaching new shooters the fundamentals of marksmanship. Collectors also take note: this rifle carries the classic Henry styling in a unique, hard-to-find package that stands out in any safe.

• Backcountry hunters and hikers who want a lightweight rifle for small game and plinking
• New shooters and youth learning to shoot with a lever action that fits smaller frames
