About This Firearm
The Henry Long Ranger is a walnut-stocked lever-action .308 Winchester built for deer, bear and coyote hunting. It has an MSRP of $1,330. Its magazine is a steel-bodied detachable box that sits flush with the stock, and not the tube a lever action usually carries.
A scope mount comes in the box along with sling swivel studs and a hammer extension, and the alloy receiver is drilled and tapped for that mount. No sights are fitted at either end. There is no safety lever to switch, because an in-hammer sliding transfer bar does that job, which Henry points out stays workable in gloves where a button or a slider can be awkward. Length of pull is a fixed 14 inches. Confirm the magazine count with the dealer.
If you’re cross-shopping, the Browning BAR MK 3 has an MSRP of $1,559.99 and is a gas-operated semi-automatic, 0.12 lbs heavier on a 22-inch barrel. The Browning X-Bolt 2 Hunter has an MSRP of $1,249.99 for a bolt action with a trigger the owner can set at 3 lbs. All three hold 4 rounds, so they differ in action and not in capacity.

Strengths & Limitations
- The bolt is machined chromed steel with a six-lug rotary head that locks into a rear extension of the barrel, which is a bolt-action lockup inside a lever gun.
- The magazine has a steel floorplate and a blackened steel release button on the right side of the receiver, and Henry lists spare magazines for it.
- With the mount in the box, rings are the last part needed before a scope goes on.
- At 14 inches the stock is long, and there are no spacers to shorten it for a youth or for heavy winter clothing.
- The muzzle is unthreaded, so a brake or a suppressor means gunsmith work.
- With no sights at either end, a lever rifle that would otherwise be ready to hunt cannot be fired at anything until glass is on it.
