The Viper Western camo version of the Henry U.S. Survival Rifle is a takedown .22 LR semi-auto from Henry Repeating Arms that breaks down so the barrel and receiver ride inside the buttstock (Henry part no. H002VWP). The design dates to 1959, when it was built as a compact rifle for U.S. Air Force pilots, and Henry upgraded the materials and components for reliability and robustness. This version wears the True Timber Viper Western camo pattern, which sets it apart from the black and Kanati camo versions of the same rifle. Pieces stowed, it measures about 16.5 inches long, small enough for a plane, boat or backpack. Assembly takes seconds and needs no tools. It suits backpackers, bush pilots and anyone who wants a light truck or camp rifle for small game.
