The Henry Long Ranger represents a modern iteration of the lever-action rifle, engineered for precision and consistent performance at extended ranges. It integrates traditional lever operation with contemporary mechanical advancements to deliver a robust and accurate platform capable of delivering reliable performance in the field.
Key Features
Action and Reliability
- **Lever Action Operation:** Retains the familiar and rapid lever-action cycling, featuring an exposed hammer and a forged steel lever for classic control and positive engagement.
- **Geared Action System:** Employs a precision-geared action that drives a machined and chromed steel bolt. This design ensures smooth, positive operation and enhanced durability under demanding conditions.
- **6-Lug Rotary Bolt Lock-up:** The bolt utilizes a 6-lug rotary head that locks directly into a rear extension of the barrel. This robust lock-up mechanism provides superior strength and shot-to-shot consistency, critical for maintaining precision.
Construction and Materials
- **Barrel:** Features a 20-inch round, free-floated steel barrel. The free-floated design mitigates external influences on barrel harmonics, contributing to inherent accuracy. The barrel is finished with a blued coating for corrosion resistance and a classic aesthetic.
- **Receiver:** Constructed from a lightweight alloy, the receiver is finished with a black hardcoat anodized coating for durability and reduced overall weight. The receiver is drilled and tapped, accommodating direct mounting of optics for enhanced aiming capability.
