The Henry H1465MAG Long Ranger brings precision long-range shooting to the classic lever-action platform with modern 6.5 Creedmoor chambering. This rifle bridges traditional American craftsmanship with contemporary ballistic performance for hunters and precision shooters demanding accuracy beyond 500 yards.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lever-action rifles limited to pistol cartridges or short-range rounds, the Long Ranger handles high-velocity bottleneck cartridges through Henry's proprietary action design. The side-loading gate system accommodates pointed bullets safely, while the solid top receiver provides a stable platform for precision optics. This combination delivers sub-MOA accuracy potential that rivals bolt-action rifles.
Key Features
- 6.5 Creedmoor chambering for exceptional long-range ballistics and wind resistance
- 4-round tubular magazine with side-loading gate for pointed bullet compatibility
- 22-inch blued steel barrel with 1:8 twist rate optimized for heavy bullets
- Solid top receiver drilled and tapped for scope mounting
- Checkered American walnut stock with rubber recoil pad
- Adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with brass bead front sight
- Henry's smooth lever action with crisp single-stage trigger
The Long Ranger excels in hunting scenarios requiring quick follow-up shots at extended ranges, from open prairie whitetail hunting to western big game pursuits. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge maintains supersonic velocity past 1,200 yards while generating manageable recoil in the 7-pound rifle. Weather-resistant blued finish protects against field conditions, while the traditional lever action provides faster cycling than bolt rifles for multiple target engagements.
