Overview: What the HENRY REPEATING ARMS 22WMR LARGE LOOP Brings to the Table

This rifle is a straightforward answer for shooters who want the look and ergonomics of a classic lever action but need more velocity and energy than a .22 LR can deliver. The 19″ barrel, deluxe checkered American walnut stock, and grooved receiver make the rifle ready for optic mounting and field use. Weighing in at a manageable 5 pounds and measuring 37″ overall, it’s easy to carry across a property or pack to a midday stalk.

Design & Ergonomics

Stock and Balance

The deluxe checkered American walnut stock is not just about aesthetics. The checkering improves purchase for rapid manipulations and the walnut gives a familiar balance point for traditional shooters. At 5 pounds, the rifle carries well over distance while still feeling solid on a bench or rest.

Large Loop Lever and Controls

The large loop lever offers generous hand clearance for gloved operation and faster cycling with a smooth, confident throw. The grooved receiver simplifies mounting a compact scope or red dot without altering the rifle’s classic silhouette, and the adjustable rear/hooded front sight set is there when you prefer iron sights for quick target acquisition.

Ballistics & Caliber: Why .22 WMR Matters

The .22 Magnum (22 WMR) is the defining feature of this configuration. Compared to the .22 LR, the .22 WMR projectile travels nearly twice as fast and produces more than triple the muzzle energy in general terms. That translates to flatter trajectories at practical varmint ranges, improved terminal performance on small game, and more reliable penetration on fur-bearing targets. For predators at extended ranges and varmints that require a bit more energy to ensure humane results, .22 WMR is a logical step up.

Capacity, Sights, and Practical Range

The tubular magazine holds 11 rounds, offering prolonged engagement potential without frequent reloads. Paired with the 19″ barrel, you can expect consistent velocities and accuracy suitable for 50–150 yard varmint work, depending on ammunition choice and shooter skill. The adjustable rear sight and hooded front sight are useful for quick, accurate follow-up shots when a scope isn’t mounted.

Scope Mounting and Optics Options

The grooved receiver is a practical inclusion for shooters who want a small, low-power scope or a red-dot for shorter-range precision. We recommend matching the rifle with a compact 1–4x or a low-power variable that doesn’t obscure the traditional sight picture if you plan to switch between iron and glass. The receiver groove simplifies installation and keeps mounts slim and low.

Field Applications and Hunting Use

For farm work, predator control, and small-game hunting, the HENRY REPEATING ARMS 22WMR LARGE LOOP is highly capable. Its combination of quicker follow-up lever operation, an 11-round tube, and the increased energy of .22 WMR makes it suited for coyotes, groundhogs, and other varmints where placement and energy both matter. The 19″ barrel balances maneuverability in brushy areas with the ballistic performance you need at typical engagement distances.

Maintenance, Reliability, and Accessories

Simple lever actions are easy to maintain in the field: routine bore cleaning, light lubrication on the action, and occasional check of fasteners on mounts and sights keeps this rifle running. Consider protective cases for the walnut stock in wet conditions and a small cleaning kit for field-level maintenance. A soft recoil pad isn’t necessary, but a sling and quick-detach mounts for optics can enhance utility without changing the rifle’s classic feel.
