What's in the Box
- Henry Lever Action Octagon Frontier Model
- Owner's Manual
Like stagecoaches, swinging saloon doors and Pony Express riders, there are many innovations of the Old West that have long faded from use and live on only in Western movies and history books.
But there are still a few frontier staples that were so effective and ahead of their time that they remain in use today. Take, for instance, the intimidating octagonal barrels commonly found on the repeating rifles of that period. These heavy-duty workhorses sported added mass and extra weight to aid in heat absorption, making them the forerunners to the bull barrels used on modern target and varmint rifles.
So as a tip of Henry's Stetson in honor of this timeless barrel style, they replaced the standard round barrel normally used on their world-famous .22 LR and .22 Magnum rifles with a 24" barrel option to really tighten up those groups at the range. Henry rounded out this traditional look with an easy-to-adjust Marbles semi-buckhorn rear sight with a diamond insert and a highly visible brass beaded front sight seated in standard 3/8" dovetail slots. A metal barrel band secures both the barrel and the high-capacity tubular magazine to the high-grade American walnut stock.
If you prefer a more modern look, the receiver is grooved so you can top off any rifle in this line with your choice of scopes. Both the stock and forearm are crafted of the same richly grained hand-finished American walnut typically found on rifles costing up to three times as much.

Once the rifle was sighted in with the semi-buckhorn sights I got fantastic 1 7/8 inch groups at 100 yards, out of box. With high speed Winchester Super X at 1330FPS I had no significant drop, very flat trajectory making my H0001TMLB Henry Frontier 24 inch barrel the most accurate 22 lr I own. Henry makes a great product.
Originally purchased this for Western or Cowboy shooting rimfire division. The action is super smooth, ideal for rapid shooting. Once sights adjusted it was incredibly accurate even at 100 yards. Because of its accuracy, found it also useful for varmint and small game with high quality ammo.
