Henry H1 Classic Compact 22 WMR (22 Mag) Black/Walnut Lever Action Rifle - 16.5in - The H1 Classic Compact Model is designed to give a safe, comfortable, and confidence-building introduction to shooting sports. Built on Henry's proven H1 lever-action platform, it delivers the same smooth action, accuracy, and American-made quality as our full-size rifles, scaled specifically for smaller or first-time users. Fit is one of the most important factors when choosing the best rifle, and the H1 Classic Compact Model gets it right. A shorter length of pull allows new or smaller shooters to shoulder the rifle naturally, maintain proper control, and focus on fundamentals like sight alignment and trigger discipline. Weighing just 4.5 pounds, the rifle is easy to handle without fatigue, helping keep range time productive and enjoyable. New shooters will appreciate the rifle's smooth, frustration-free lever action, which operates deliberately and predictably. Unlike semi-automatic designs, the manual action allows users to closely monitor each step of the process through loading, cycling, and firing at a controlled pace. This encourages mindful operation and reinforces safe habits while building confidence one shot at a time. An 1/4 cock safety system adds an extra layer of security during handling. The H1 Classic Compact Model .22 Magnum delivers excellent accuracy with minimal recoil, making it well suited for target practice, small game hunting, and skill development. A shortened barrel keeps overall length manageable while maintaining balance and accuracy. Features include a blued steel barrel, adjustable rear sight, hooded front sight, and a 3/8in grooved receiver for easy scope mounting when appropriate. Like every Henry rimfire rifle, the H1 Classic Compact Model is made in America and stocked with genuine American walnut. Safe, lightweight, easy to operate, and built to last, the H1 Classic Compact Model is more than a starter rifle. It's a rifle for learning, growing, and someday passing down, making it a smart, responsible choice for new shooters searching for the best compact lever-action rifle available.
