Henry Repeating Arms, one of the country’s leading firearms manufacturers and the world leader in the lever-action category, has launched a new product from its performance-oriented Special Products Division called the SPD PREDATOR – the most accurate lever-action rifle ever built and the only one backed by a three-shot sub-MOA guarantee from the factory.
Built on the same advanced architecture as the Lever Action Supreme Rifle, recently named 2025 Rifle of the Year by Guns & Ammo, the SPD PREDATOR adapts that award-winning platform for smaller, more agile targets, longer distances, and rapidly changing shot opportunities. The result is a lightweight, yet stable, suppressor-ready rifle optimized to deliver the precision needed for successful predator and varmint hunting.
In testing, the Special Products Division team made repeated one-mile shots, an unheard-of feat for any lever-action. At the core of its performance is a match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel tension-wrapped in carbon fiber for improved rigidity, faster cooling, and reduced weight. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 to accept a suppressor, giving hunters major advantages when pursuing predators, including reduced recoil, a quieter sound signature for improved communication in calling setups, and help preventing spooking multiple animals during a stand.
A forged carbon-fiber Picatinny rail offers a rock-solid foundation for LPVOs or high-magnification predator optics, allowing hunters to transition seamlessly between fast shots and precise long holds. The gray laminate buttstock and forearm provide weatherproof durability and include an adjustable comb system to ensure a repeatable cheek weld for consistent accuracy. The factory-tuned trigger breaks at a crisp four pounds with end-user adjustability, and MSR-pattern magazine compatibility adds flexibility in the field. Each rifle ships with a Harris S-LM bipod for immediate, stable shooting support.
“The SPD PREDATOR represents a leap forward for the lever-action category,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder & CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “The team set out to create a rifle that meets the demands of serious predator hunters, and they delivered something truly groundbreaking. This is a lever-action that competes squarely with precision bolt-action rifles, while preserving the quick follow-up shots and nimble form factor that hunters love about lever guns.”
Every SPD PREDATOR is engineered, built, and individually certified by an SPD engineer in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and backed by Henry’s Lifetime Warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
The H23 SPD PREDATOR Rifle .223/5.56 is now shipping to Henry dealers nationwide with an MSRP of $2,510. Additional product details and specifications are available at HenryUSA.com.
