Every other .350 Legend in the catalog is either a bolt-action or an AR-pattern semi-auto. The Henry Single Shot Steel is the only break-action single-shot in the chambering — press the lever behind the trigger guard, the barrel drops, you load one cartridge, close the action, and thumb the hammer back. There is no magazine, no bolt cycle, no second shot waiting. The 22" blued barrel with 1:16 twist sits on an American walnut stock for a total of 7.18 lbs and 37.5" overall.

The mechanism is the appeal. A rebounding hammer physically can't reach the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled, and an interlock prevents the barrel from opening with the hammer cocked — that is the whole safety story. The H015 platform is shared with the .45-70 variant Henry has been building in Rice Lake, Wisconsin for years, so this isn't a new design adapted to a new caliber — it's a proven action chambered for a softer-recoiling round. Compared to the Mossberg Patriot Synthetic bolt-action with its 4-round magazine, the Single Shot trades repeat-shot capability for roughly half the parts count and a walnut-and-blued-steel build quality the polymer-stocked Patriot can't match.

This is the rifle for a hunter who wants to teach a kid the discipline of making the first shot count, a stand hunter who values minimum mechanism in cold or wet conditions, or an experienced shooter who wants a second rifle that won't feel like a duplicate of their bolt gun. The factory drills and taps the receiver for a Weaver 82 base, so a low-power scope mounts without gunsmithing. Skip it if you're hunting hog sounders or anywhere a follow-up shot matters — by design, the second shot is fifteen seconds and a deliberate load-cock cycle away.
