H14 Long Ranger Express Carbine | Henry Repeating Arms

When the Henry Long Ranger was released in 2016, we set a new bar in lever action precision. Combining bolt action accuracy with the speed of a lever gun, the Long Ranger’s six-lug rotary bolt, aerospace grade aluminum construction, free-floated barrel, and detachable box magazine make for a...

I dig it!

If I got one I'd have the barrel cut and threaded anyways.

Wish they did this and kept the irons though.

Seems pretty cool, but there's just "something" about its profile appearance that's off-putting to me for some reason.

I got that email today too! When it comes in 308 and possibly with irons, I'm in.

Kinda like bony women. You want to think of them as hot, but in reality, they could REALLY use a sandwich or 10.

Kinda like the BLR only with laminate stock and forearm.

 

[monkeybutler]

Kind of a neat concept. Too bad they chose 1/9 twist rather than 1/8.

I bought a Henry Long Ranger a few years ago. I have found it to be accurate and not too fussy about what I feed it. I chose the 223 because I have an abundance of supplies. The Henry will shoot right along with my Ruger 1V in 223. Since I bought the Henry for fast follow up shots on called coyotes, I truly hope to try that some day soon.

For 1200 bucks I want a bigger lever loop for my big meaty paws.

Not sure how possible that is.

IIRC, I had some questions as to how easy/hard it would be to do with a Browning BLR after reading threads where someone wanted to rechamber a BLR. Apparently taking the barrel off and replacing it is not easy - or maybe I remember incorrectly. Maybe @Velzey could do it?

BLRs come with laminate stocks too - mine has a grey laminate stock.

 

[Flynmoose]

Holy Cow! The prices have gone through the sky, I think I paid $650 for my Long Ranger. As a side note they are available with iron sights. I didn't bother with them, I am at the point where I need a scope on everything.

Looking at it, I see an unusually high comb on the butt stock (scope use), the shad-belly for the mag, and the tapered barrel - none of which is classic lever action stuff.

I wonder how many people will load standard fmj ammo in the tubular mag. People tend to not be as smart as they were in the past. I'd like to see one of these in 300blk.

Looks like the Henry comes with a threaded barrel.

Detachable box mag.

My son has a Mossberg bolt in .223 uses AR mags its a fantastic varmint rifle. Not sure I could find a use for a .223 lever. And sure not at that price.

 

[bionic knees]

not uncle Henry's best-looking rifle!

 

[2ndtimer]

For $1200, I would grab a mid grade AR, scope, mount, magazines and ammo.

 

[308]

Why 5/8"-24 threads on a .223 unless the intent is to use a .308 suppressor?
