Overview
The Henry Long Ranger .308 Winchester is engineered to bridge the performance gap between traditional lever action design and the demands of modern, extended-range hunting. Recognizing the enduring utility of the lever action platform, Henry developed the Long Ranger series to incorporate the precision and cartridge compatibility typically associated with bolt-action rifles, specifically for calibers like the .308 Winchester. This rifle integrates a robust lever action mechanism with contemporary long-range capability.
Key Features
Performance & Precision
The Long Ranger utilizes a geared action that facilitates smooth, positive cycling, ensuring rapid follow-up shots. Its precision-machined, free-floating sporter barrel is critical for mitigating external harmonics and optimizing shot-to-shot consistency. Chambered in .308 Winchester, this rifle is designed to deliver reliable ballistic performance across varied field conditions, accommodating modern pointed-tip bullet designs via its detachable box magazine system. The receiver is drilled and tapped, allowing direct integration of preferred optics for enhanced target acquisition and precision at distance.
Design & Ergonomics
This model features a straight-grip American walnut stock and forend, providing a classic aesthetic combined with practical ergonomics for field use. The detachable steel box magazine, with a capacity of four rounds, allows for efficient loading and unloading without manipulating the action. Sling swivel studs are factory-installed, enabling immediate integration of carrying slings. The blued finish on the barrel and action components provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface.
Construction & Materials
The Henry Long Ranger is constructed with an aircraft-grade aluminum alloy receiver, reducing overall weight while maintaining structural rigidity. The 20-inch barrel is crafted from high-quality steel, ensuring longevity and consistent bore integrity. Internal components are engineered for durability and reliable function under demanding operational parameters, reflecting KFF Defense’s standard for robust firearm construction.
