At SHOT Show 2026, Henry Repeating Arms showed that even a classic can evolve without losing the plot.
Henry’s rimfire lineup still revolves around the H1 .22 lever action, the company’s original bread-and-butter rifle. But instead of reinventing it, Henry took a modular approach: build new parts, mix and match configurations, and see what shooters actually gravitate toward.
The standout is the X Model .22, which borrows heavily from Henry’s centerfire X Model playbook and applies it to rimfire for the first time.
Available in .22 LR and .22 WMR, the X Model .22 gets synthetic furniture, a pistol-grip stock, fiber-optic sights, and a threaded barrel. That pistol grip is a first for Henry’s rimfire lever guns, and it noticeably changes the feel without turning it into something unrecognizable.
Up top, there’s a Picatinny rail for optics. Up front, M-LOK slots add some flexibility. Sling mounting points are already baked in. The result is a lightweight, handy lever gun that leans more “modern utility” than “nostalgia piece.”
Alongside the X Model, Henry is expanding the same core platform into multiple roles:
Rather than guessing which version shooters want most, Henry is putting them all out there and letting the market decide. If early booth buzz means anything, the X Model .22 may end up leading the pack.
It’s still unmistakably a Henry. It just wears a few more modern clothes now. Learn more HERE.

The cost guidance is better than expected. If they deliver, the stock could rerate.

If AISC keeps dropping, this becomes investable for me.
