Henry Reveals Host of New Rifles for 2026

Henry Repeating Arms has been buzzing with big news lately. After recently moving full production to Wisconsin, the company continues innovating at a wild rate while maintaining existing product lines. We spent some quality time with the fine folks from Henry at SHOT Show and found a slew of new products for 2026.

Naming System

Until now, Henry’s firearm numbering system was nearly impossible to follow, with models like the H014S-65. For 2026, the company is rolling out a more cohesive alphanumeric naming game.

In addition to several new models and some new lines for 2026, Henry updated its naming conventions with an alphanumerical system. (All photos: Kristin Alberts/Guns.com)

For instance, the classic rimfires will be “H1,” “Big Boys H6,” and so on. And if you thought the company was missing the boat on cool names, that’s changing. New releases are dubbed the “Provider,” “Protector,” and “Bandit,” among others.

SPD Predator

Some of the biggest news of SHOT 2025 was the launch of Henry’s Special Products Division – a quasi custom shop meets think tank for gun innovating. First came the HUSH (Henry Ultimate Suppressor Host) with its carbon barrel, then the Predator, touted as “the most accurate lever gun ever built.” The Henry folks were extra creative in naming this rifle; “Predator” is derived from “Precision Rifle Engineered for Dispatching Agile Targets Over Range.”

SHOT Show ’26 marked our first hands-on encounter with the rifle. With guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy, an 18-inch threaded carbon-fiber barrel, and customizable laminate wood stock, this .223 Rem/ 5.56 NATO chambered number uses a match-grade 416R stainless-steel barrel that is tension-wrapped in carbon fiber and threaded for easy suppressor use.

A carbon-fiber Picatinny rail provides a mounting point for all types of optics, and an adjustable comb helps get the shooter’s eye in proper alignment with the scope. The factory-tuned trigger breaks crisply at 4 pounds and is user-adjustable. The rifle feeds from MSR-pattern magazines and comes with a Harris S-LM bipod.

The new SPD Predator is built on the same platform as the LASR, and it runs with the same buttery action. Though we only ran the rifle at 100 yards during Industry Day at the Range, putting pinpoint shots on steel quickly was a breeze. Designed, engineered, and built in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, the Predator is instantly appealing to hunters and longer-range shooters alike. MSRP is $2,510.

Bandit

The Bandit is a compact, lever-action rimfire that falls into the company’s H1 family and will be available in .22 Short/Long/Long Rifle and .22 WMR. There’s an 18.5-inch round, blued steel barrel, and overall length is 35.5 inches, with a slightly shorter LOP at 13 inches. That length feels good for average and smaller shooters alike, and at 5.25 pounds, it’s not too much to carry, either. An integrated Picatinny rail is a fresh and useful look, offering easy optics mounting for any type of scope or dot.

Stocks are American walnut, but now in a Monte Carlo butt and checkered pistol grip style – a contrast from the straight grip previously found on all Henry’s rimfires. A threaded barrel makes a welcome home for suppressors. MSRP on the .22 LR is set at $590, and the .22 WMR at $690. We’ll be grabbing one of these rifles for extensive testing when they begin shipping, which sounds like it will be in Q1 of 2026.

Provider & Protector

For several years, Henry has been using the marketing slogan of guns that “Provide and Protect,” but starting this year, those names belong to two distinct families of lever guns. Both feature matte blued steel, checkered American walnut stocks, and fully adjustable sights, and are drilled and tapped for optics mounting.

We were pleasantly surprised to see the new Provider offered in .38-55 Win and .35 Rem.

Provider rifles are built for the hunter, namely those who value features like American walnut, a pistol-grip-style stock, and longer magazine tube with a 20-inch barrel. These are non-threaded rigs for those who aren’t concerned about suppressor use. MSRP on all Provider rifles is $1,135, with available chamberings as follows:

H9 Provider Rifle: .30-30 Win, .360 Buckhammer, .38-55 Win, and .35 Rem
H10 Provider Rifle: .45-70 Gov’t
H12 Provider Rifle: .357 Magnum/.38 Spl and .44 Magnum/Spl

The Protector Carbines use 16.5-inch threaded barrels, making it easy to add a suppressor.

Protector Carbines are lighter, more compact and built with a penchant for defense, home protection, and even tight-quarters hunting. The 16.5-inch barrels feature threaded muzzles for easy suppressor use. All Protector Carbines retail for $1,200.

H9 Protector Carbine: .30-30 Win & .360 Buckhammer
H10 Protector Carbine: .45-70 Gov’t
H12 Protector Carbine: .357 Magnum/.38 Spl and .44 Magnum/ Spl

This series of rifles and carbines has been a long time coming with its new names. While many of the chamberings are shared between the two, we’re especially excited to see the .38-55 Win and .35 Rem included on the rifle lengths. Other current production levers in those calibers are done in brass, which, while attractive, is not as useful to hardcore hunters.

X Model Rimfire

Henry’s blacked-out, tactically bent series of X Model lever guns enters its rimfire era for 2026. The X Model Rimfire belongs to the H1 product family and will be available in a .22 S/L/LR and a .22 WMR. Both are rifle-length long guns with a 16.5-inch round, blued steel barrel that is threaded at 1/2x28. Overall length is 34.5 inches with a light 5-pound weight.

The blacked-out X-Model now comes in .22 rimfire (seen at top).

There are fully adjustable fiber-optic sights and integrated Picatinny rail. The black polymer stocks look and feel like downsized versions of the centerfire X Models. These rimfires use a pistol-grip style that includes spacers for length of pull adjustments at 13.5, 13.75, and 14 inches for one of the company’s most user-friendly fits to date. MSRP is $590 for the LR and and $490 for the WMR.

New LASR Chambering

Henry’s Lever Action Supreme Rifle in .300 Blackout was our 2025 Readers Choice Awards winner for Best Hunting Rifle. Now, Henry is debuting a new and somewhat unexpected chambering: the .450 Bushmaster. That thumper joins the Blackout and .223/5.56 NATO for a total of three options on the LASR platform.

The LASR gets a boost in firepower with a new .450 Bushmaster chambering.

This latest bad boy wears an 18-inch free-floated, round blued steel barrel with a 1:24 twist. The same American walnut remains, as do all the hot features of the original Supreme levers. Measuring 38 inches overall and weighing 6.5 pounds, the .450 Bushmaster becomes the biggest bore on the platform to date, though it sounds like more chamberings are on the way. MSRP on the .450 Bushmaster is set at $1,360.

America’s 250th Tribute

Henry is marking the country’s 250th birthday with a Spirit of ’76 Semiquincentennial Edition. This museum-grade limited edition is built on Henry’s New Original platform. Limited to just 250 pieces, these .44-40 WCF chambered beauties see a nickel-plated brass receiver, extensive engraving, and 24-karat gold highlights.

The Spirit of ’76 Semiquincentennial Edition – say that three times fast – features 24-karat gold on engraved scenes celebrating U.S. history.

Engraved scenes include a Revolutionary War battlefield, signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Betsy Ross flag, a bald eagle, and the battle sword carried by George Washington. These tribute rifles are serialized from USA250TH001 to USA250TH250 for a retail cost of $4,115.
