Henry Repeating Arms is starting the New Year off right with an all-new groundbreaking lever-action gun: the Lever Action Supreme Rifle (LASR). Chambered in your choice of .223 Rem/5.56 NATO and .300 Blackout--with more calibers no doubt to come--the LASR represents the culmination of over 150 years of lever-action science. With Henry's dedication to cutting-edge manufacturing technology and techniques, this tried-and-true platform is a springboard into the future of firearms accuracy.

The LASR was created to reach out further than traditional lever guns can. Part of this is due simply to the calibers in which the LASR is available, all of which are considered accurate at long ranges. Part of it is thanks to the LASR's free-floated blued steel barrel that's fully capable of sub-MOA accuracy with the right conditions and cartridge selection. Henry's engineers have thoughtfully optimized that barrel for each caliber; an 18” barrel for the .223 Rem/5.56 NATO and a 16.5” barrel for the .300 BLK. 

Henry's new LASR is designed for supreme smoothness. The quad bar linkage and slider crank mechanism at the heart of the action sets a new standard for out-of-the-box lever-action guns, driving the bolt and cycling rounds from the detachable box magazine. A match-grade 4 lb. adjustable trigger rounds out the ease of handling.

An internal hammer design keeps out debris to maintain reliability in harsh conditions. Tthe Supreme ships with a 10-round Magpul PMAG (and a five-round capacity limiter for compliance with hunting regulations). Using a box magazine eliminates the bullet restrictions inherent to traditional tube magazines, so over time, the platform will yield additional calibers never seen before in the lever-action category.

“The Lever Action Supreme Rifle is a testament to our commitment to innovation and pushing boundaries while preserving the soul of the platform that brought us to the dance,” said Andy Wickstrom, President of Henry Repeating Arms. “The lever-action platform remains as relevant and revered as ever,” added Wickstrom. “We’re thrilled to lead this new chapter in its history.” MSRP $1,299; HenryUSA.com.
