Henry H015-223 Single Shot Rifle | .223 Rem | 22″ Barrel

The Henry H015-223 is a purposefully simple, break-action single-shot rifle chambered in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO with a 22-inch round blued steel barrel and an American walnut pistol-grip stock. It uses a rebounding hammer and interlock system rather than an external manual safety and is drilled and tapped for a Weaver 82 mount for optics. For a working optic under $1,000 that complements the rifle’s intended roles, a Vortex Diamondback 3-9×40 offers a practical, durable option for general target and varmint work.
