Lately I’ve been looking into the H23 SPD Predator, and it really feels like one of those rifles that quietly shifts what people expect from a lever gun.
This isn’t your typical nostalgic piece, it leans hard into modern performance. The carbon-wrapped barrel, adjustable stock, and optics-ready setup give it more of a precision-rifle vibe while keeping that fast-handling lever action feel. From what I’ve seen, Henry even backs it with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, which is pretty wild territory for this platform.
What stands out most is how purpose-built it feels. Chambered in .223/5.56 with an 18” barrel and AR-style magazine compatibility, it seems geared toward predator and varmint hunting where speed and follow-up shots actually matter.
It’s kind of interesting seeing a lever action step into a space that’s usually dominated by bolt guns not replacing them, but definitely challenging them in its own way.
For me it is one of a kind and up there amongst the best: Henry Repeating Arms H23 SPD Predator 18” bbl - Fortis Gun Supply
