Henry SPD Predator: Precision Varmint and Target Rifle

The Henry SPD Predator represents a purpose-built lever-action rifle engineered for shooters who demand accuracy, reliability, and the classic Henry craftsmanship in a modern sporting configuration. Chambered in both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, this firearm bridges the gap between traditional American design and contemporary ballistic performance. Whether you are controlling pest populations, engaging steel targets at distance, or simply appreciating fine manufacturing, the Henry SPD Predator delivers consistent results.

Overview

The Henry SPD Predator is a side-gate loading lever-action rifle that eliminates the need to remove the tubular magazine for reloading, offering faster and more convenient ammunition management in the field. The rifle features a 20-inch round barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, optimized to stabilize heavier .223 and 5.56 projectiles commonly used for predator hunting and precision shooting. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, and the rifle ships with a satin-finished American walnut stock and forend. Every component of the Henry SPD Predator reflects the company’s commitment to American manufacturing and rigorous quality control.
