The Henry Repeating Arms H10 Explorer Carbine in .45-70 Gov't is a compact lever-action rifle built for hunters who need serious stopping power in a portable package. At 16.5 inches and 7 pounds, this burnt bronze beauty swings fast in tight cover—perfect for whitetail, black bear, hogs, and elk hunters who work close timber or thick brush. The .45-70 Gov't cartridge has been punching above its weight class for over 150 years, and Henry's lever-action platform keeps that tradition alive with a modern twist: a four-round capacity, transfer bar safety, and a barrel drilled and tapped for scope mounting.
The burnt bronze Cerakote finish on the round barrel and receiver is both tough and visually distinctive—it resists weather and handling wear better than traditional bluing, and it won't show fingerprints the way polished surfaces do. The American walnut furniture with checkered pistol grip feels substantial in your hands, and the ventilated rubber recoil pad tames the .45-70's substantial kick without adding bulk. A fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with diamond insert and brass bead front sight are ready to go out of the box; if you prefer glass, the Weaver 63B scope mount is already drilled and tapped, so you can mount your optic in minutes.
The 1:20 twist rate is optimized for the range of bullets the .45-70 platform typically uses, and the five-eighths by 24-thread muzzle accommodates modern suppressors and muzzle devices if you choose to go that route. With sling swivel studs front and rear, this carbine accepts any standard rifle sling. Whether you're hunting from a stand, stalking a canyon, or keeping a truck gun for unexpected opportunities, the Henry Explorer Carbine delivers the power and handling a serious hunter expects.

Yes. The .45-70 Gov't cartridge is a proven large-game round, and Henry's lever-action platform is reliable in the field. The four-round capacity, compact handling, and quality sights make it a solid choice for hunting elk, moose, bear, and deer, particularly in thick country where shots typically occur within 100 yards.
The receiver is drilled and tapped for a Weaver 63B scope mount, which is included. You'll need to install the mount and supply your own riflescope if you choose to use glass instead of the iron sights.
The barrel is threaded 5/8x24, which is a common suppressor thread pitch. You can attach a compatible suppressor or other muzzle devices to the threaded muzzle.
The length of pull is 14 inches, measured from the trigger to the rear of the buttpad. This is a standard rifle dimension that typically fits most adult shooters; smaller shooters or those preferring a shorter pull may need to adjust their shooting position or consider aftermarket stock options.
