The Henry Single Shot .45-70 break open rifle is a no-frills, hard-working option for hunters and shooters who appreciate straightforward reliability. The .45-70 Government cartridge has earned its place in American hunting for over 150 years—it's powerful enough for big game at reasonable ranges and manageable enough for shooters who respect what they're handling. This Henry model strips away the complexity of a repeater and gives you a robust single-shot platform that's easy to operate, easy to maintain, and built to last.

At 22 inches, the barrel strikes a practical balance between ballistic efficiency and handling in the field or at the bench. The straight-grip American walnut stock with brass buttplate delivers classic lines and a solid feel without modern frills—this is a rifle that looks and handles like it means business. The 37-inch overall length keeps things reasonably compact for a full-power rifle. Weighing 6.83 pounds, it won't wear you out during a day afield, yet it's substantial enough to manage recoil responsibly.

Henry equipped this rifle with fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and brassed beaded front sights, so you can dial in your zero without adding glass right away. If you prefer a scope, the receiver is already drilled and tapped for a Weaver 82 mount, making optic installation straightforward. Whether you run iron sights or glass, this single shot rewards deliberate shooting—one shot, one clear opportunity. It's the kind of rifle that teaches you to trust your first round and respect the cartridge you're carrying.
