The Henry Lever Action Supreme H23 in .450 Bushmaster (brand part no. H023-450) is a modern lever-action rifle built around an 18-inch free-floated blued steel barrel threaded 5/8×24. Henry Repeating Arms pairs that barrel with a hard anodized black aluminum receiver, a genuine American walnut stock and a detachable 5-round DuraMag stainless steel magazine. The action runs on Henry’s patented quad-bar linkage and slider crank mechanism with a multi-lug rotating bolt, and the controls are ambidextrous. Henry lists the rifle for big game hunting and target shooting, and the threaded muzzle is ready for a suppressor.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .450 Bushmaster, a straight-wall big game cartridge that suits states restricted to straight-wall hunting rounds.
• The barrel is 18 inches of free-floated blued steel, which keeps the barrel clear of the stock for consistent accuracy.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, so a suppressor or other muzzle device can be installed directly.
• The rate of twist is 1:24, matched to the heavy bullets this cartridge fires.
• The magazine is a detachable 5-round DuraMag stainless steel unit, which loads and swaps faster than a tube.
• The trigger is a match-grade 4-pound pull that is user-adjustable across a 1-pound range with the included hex key.
• The safety is a tang safety switch with ambidextrous controls, placed where a thumb reaches it without changing grip.
• The sights are a fully adjustable trapezoidal rear and a steel blade front, adjusted with the same tool as the trigger.
• The stock is genuine American walnut with a checkered pistol grip, a rubber recoil pad and a 14-inch length of pull.
• The receiver is drilled and tapped for a Weaver 63B scope base, so a scope mounts without gunsmithing.
