The Henry H9 X Model lever action .30-30 Win 21.38in 5rd is a practical sporting rifle built for shooters who demand reliability and modern accessory capability from a traditional platform. Chambered in .30-30 Winchester, this full-size lever gun features a blued steel, threaded 21.38-inch barrel paired with a durable black synthetic stock and a large-loop lever for gloved-hand operation. The receiver is drilled and tapped to accept Weaver 63B-style bases, and fiber optic sights ship standard. Fixed five-round magazine capacity keeps the profile clean while delivering consistent feeding. According to Henry Repeating Arms specs, this model is designed for practical use in hunting, range work, and tactical applications.

Key Features
- Threaded 21.38-inch Barrel – Allows direct attachment of muzzle devices or suppressors, reducing recoil and noise for follow-up shots in the field or on the range.
- Large-Loop Lever – Cycles smoothly even with gloved hands, critical for cold-weather hunting or tactical operations where dexterity is limited.
- Fiber Optic Sights – Provide fast target acquisition in low-light conditions, eliminating the need for batteries or electronic optics out of the box.
- Receiver Drilled and Tapped for Weaver 63B Bases – Enables quick mounting of red dots, scopes, or night vision without gunsmithing, giving you flexibility for different mission profiles.
- Fixed Five-Round Magazine – Maintains a traditional lever-action profile while ensuring reliable feeding and compliance with capacity restrictions in certain jurisdictions.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the serious shooter who needs a lever-action that performs under pressure: law enforcement officers requiring a suppressed patrol carbine, military personnel training with .30-30 for brush-country engagements, and hunters who want a rugged, optics-ready platform for whitetail or hog. It also suits competition shooters in tactical lever-action matches where speed and precision matter.
