HRA rifle with box magazine

[Travlin]

Can anyone tell me why the Henry rifle that uses the AR magazines is not on their web page. And no I don't mean the Long Ranger. That rifle was such a big deal at the SHOT Show and now just crickets. Was there a big problem with it or what?

I don't even know what you are speaking of.
Send Henry an e-mail.

Official reveal is on January 6. Everything you see for now is technically a leak, because guns were sent to dealers in advance. Come Monday it's going to be on the website.

I got a Henry email this morning announcing this rifle. This rifle is what the Long Ranger should have been from the beginning. ie the receiver is longer so that an extended magazine below doesn't interfere with the lever action.

The HLR allowed Henry to enter a box magazine lever gun with a minimal expense, because it was based closely on an existing design. Going head first into Supreme would cost too much and either get cancelled or even bankrupt the company.

Even today we hear from some people that Supreme is awkward to carry. Well if that's a concern, buy the Long Ranger.

Many for sale on GunBroker.

Mags, I got the email sometime this morning as well.
Puke, gag, na, no, nope not for me.

Thay are claiming 1' groups. Not unless they do something about their quality control.

That is the one the Supreme now if they would just make it in some other calibers like .358 win. Just as I wondered why not, it is now on the HRA site. Thanks for all the replies.

The only existing similar design I know of is the BLR and it's not that close.

...Awkward to carry. I have 4 Henrys. All of them are awkward to carry without a sling. The Long Ranger is 40.5" overall length while the Supreme versions are 38.15 and 36.65. They're likely no more awkward to carry than a Long Ranger.

Ya, it's kinda ugly like the HomeSteader. The Long Ranger is certainly more sleek looking being longer overall, and with the flush mount mag.

[Vaquero]

Yes it reminds me of the Homesteader. Puke
We need some more emoji's.

Ya, we have limited selection.
This one is from the Windows OS library. Not sure if it would display correctly elsewhere.



Then this GIF is fun.

interesting YouTube video link ====> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcR5f44iRP4

NOTE : the video does contain advertisements that can be skipped

[rickhem]

There's a bunch of reviews on YouTube about it.
It's a bit different looking, that's for sure.

I recently saw this on another gun forum.

Maybe it needs a new name/title...
The city cowboy,
The Lever Assault
Los Angeles city rancher
Urban rancher ???

Im old school and the tacticalization of leverguns is only about more sales. I dont like them and never will. I would never even think about buying one of these or anything that resembles anything tactical on a levergun. To each their own. Just my .02 worth

Exactly.
And some of these aftermarket jobs, where they take an old Marlin and then slap the tactical crap on it.
Then ask a price that is more than what a good levergun and an AR cost together. Stupid, but
I guess there are {some} yuppy types that have more money than sense that are actually buying them.

But, I Totally agree, Al.
I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to the lever gun, guess that's because of when I grew up.
And one of the things and reasons I never got overly excited about Henry rifles and the lack there of the loading gate.
By the time they finally dug their head out of the sand and added one I had pretty much have what I wanted in a lever gun.
The only reason I have the third one is it's cal. 41 mag. and it was way less than have of what the hard to find used Marlins were going for.
And Hell they still WON'T over it in one of their sidegate models
