Henry Adds 6.5 Creedmoor Long Ranger

Henry Repeating Arms has announced the addition of the 6.5 Creedmoor Long Ranger lever action rifle. With the popularity of the cartridge, it was only a matter of time before someone chambered a lever action in it.

Like you would expect, Henry built the rifle with American walnut stocks, blued metalwork, and a four-round box magazine. The 22-inch barrel has been free floated for the best possible accuracy out of the lever action. Henry also says that the Long Ranger uses a chromed steel bolt with six locking lugs that they claim provide bolt action like consistency.

Specs:

The  Henry Long Ranger will carry an MSRP of $1,066, learn more on the Henry Repeating Arms website.

More from Henry:

Henry Repeating Arms, an American firearms manufacturer based out of Bayonne, NJ, and Rice Lake, WI is introducing two new models, including a lever action rifle chambered in the caliber of 6.5 Creedmoor.

The Long Ranger lever action rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor features a 22” blued steel sporter barrel that is free floated above the forestock to maximize and maintain accuracy even as the barrel gets hot through repeated firing. The buttstock and forestock are figured grain American walnut that is deeply checkered and capped with a solid soft rubber recoil pad on the back and a steel forestock cap on the front. The Long Ranger utilizes a geared action that drives a chromed steel bolt with a 6-lug rotary head into a rear extension of the barrel for a strong and consistent lock-up, similar to that of a bolt action rifle. A 4-round capacity box magazine can be removed and reloaded with a push of the flush-mounted blackened steel magazine release button. There are no external safety features on the Long Ranger, so an in-hammer sliding transfer bar safety guarantees the rifle will not fire unless the hammer is cocked and the trigger is pulled. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for Henry Long Ranger in 6.5 Creedmoor (Model H014-65) is $1,066.
