The Henry Long Ranger H014S223 delivers precision lever-action performance in .223 Remington, combining traditional American craftsmanship with modern accuracy demands. This full-size rifle features a detachable box magazine system that sets it apart from tube-fed lever guns, enabling the use of pointed bullets for enhanced ballistic performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lever-action rifles limited to flat-nose cartridges, the Long Ranger's detachable magazine design accommodates spitzer bullets in .223 Remington. The side-loading gate and flush-mounted magazine create a sleek profile while maintaining the classic lever-action feel. The geared action provides smooth cycling with reduced effort compared to binding-prone alternatives, rated for consistent operation across temperature extremes.
Key Features
- Detachable 5-round box magazine accepts pointed .223 Remington ammunition
- 20-inch blued steel barrel with 1:9 twist rate optimized for 55-77 grain bullets
- Black hard coat anodized steel receiver resists corrosion and wear
- American walnut stock with 14-inch length of pull and rubber buttpad
- Drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard scope mounts
- Side loading gate allows topping off without removing magazine
- Transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge
Field performance centers on the rifle's ability to deliver sub-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, making it effective for varmint hunting out to 300 yards. The lever action cycles reliably with both 55-grain varmint loads and heavier 77-grain match bullets. Weather-resistant finishes handle moisture and temperature changes encountered during extended hunting seasons or competitive events.
