Who It’s For

The Henry SPD Predator is designed for the hunter who spends time behind a rifle, not at a workbench. It suits varmint hunters pursuing coyotes, groundhogs, and prairie dogs where quick follow-up shots matter. It also fits shooters who want a lightweight bolt-action for steel targets or tactical matches without carrying a heavy competition rifle. If you need a rifle that shoots accurately out of the box and handles both .223 and 5.56 NATO ammunition, the Henry SPD Predator is a practical choice.
