The Henry H14223MAG Long Ranger delivers precision shooting capabilities in a traditional lever-action platform chambered for the versatile .223 Remington cartridge. This rifle bridges classic American craftsmanship with modern performance requirements for hunters and sport shooters demanding accuracy at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lever guns limited to pistol cartridges or straight-wall cases, the Long Ranger accepts bottleneck rifle cartridges through Henry's innovative action design. The side-loading gate allows for quick reloading while maintaining a loaded chamber, addressing the primary limitation of tube-fed lever actions. This configuration delivers 2-3 MOA accuracy potential with quality ammunition, matching bolt-action performance in a faster-handling package.
Key Features
- 5-round tubular magazine capacity with side loading gate
- 20-inch blued steel barrel with 1:9 twist rate optimized for .223 Remington
- Machined steel receiver with integral scope mounting rail
- Adjustable Marbles semi-buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front sight
- American walnut stock with straight grip and rifle-style buttplate
- Smooth lever action with exposed hammer design
- Transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge
Field performance centers on the rifle's ability to cycle bottleneck cartridges reliably while maintaining the quick follow-up shots lever actions provide. The .223 Remington chambering handles everything from varmint control to deer hunting within appropriate ranges. Weather-resistant blued finish protects against moisture and field conditions, while the walnut stock provides secure handling in various shooting positions.
