Henry H011R Original Rare Carbine | .44-40 Win | 20.5in Octagon

The Henry Original Rare Carbine H011R is a full-size toggle-link lever-action rifle built on Henry’s historic designs. It pairs a one-piece octagonal blued barrel and a polished brass receiver with a fancy American walnut stock and hardened brass buttplate for a traditional appearance and handling. Sights are a classic folding ladder rear and a blade front, and the rifle feeds from an integrated tubular magazine. For optics, a low-power variable such as a Vortex Diamondback 2-7×35 provides a versatile, sub-$1,000 option for preserving the rifle’s sight picture while enabling longer-range sighting and target work.
