Henry SPD Predator: A Precision Varmint Rifle Built for the Field

When you pick up the Henry SPD Predator, you immediately sense this is not your grandfather’s lever gun. Henry Repeating Arms has stepped decisively into the modern precision rifle market with a straight-pull bolt action that feels both familiar and fresh. Chambered in .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, the Henry SPD Predator is purpose-built for varmint hunters, coyote callers, and shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy without the weight of a full competition rig. We have spent time behind this rifle on the range and in the field, and it delivers exactly what its name promises: predator-grade performance straight from the box.

Overview

The Henry SPD Predator is a straight-pull bolt action rifle that combines the smooth, fast cycling of a lever gun with the precision of a modern bolt action. The “SPD” stands for Straight Pull Design, and it is a game-changer for follow-up shots on moving targets. The barrel is a heavy-contour, threaded 18-inch model with a 1:8 twist rate, ideal for stabilizing heavier bullets often used in predator hunting. The stock is a synthetic, adjustable-comb design with a soft rubber buttpad, making it comfortable for long sits in cold weather. Every detail, from the fluted bolt to the crisp trigger, speaks to Henry’s commitment to building a rifle that works as hard as you do.

Features & Specs

Here is a breakdown of what makes the Henry SPD Predator stand out in a crowded field of varmint rifles:

• Straight-pull bolt action: Allows for lightning-fast cycling without taking your cheek off the stock. Keep your eye on the target, work the bolt with a simple forward-and-back motion, and stay on the next shot.
• Threaded heavy barrel (1/2×28): Ready for a suppressor or muzzle brake right out of the box. The 18-inch length balances maneuverability in thick cover with enough velocity for ethical shots on coyotes and groundhogs out to 300 yards.
• Adjustable comb stock: Raise or lower the cheek piece to align your eye perfectly with your scope. The synthetic stock is weather-resistant and quiet in the field, no metal-on-metal rattles.

Additional specifications include a 4-round detachable magazine, a two-position safety, and a trigger that breaks cleanly at around 3.5 pounds. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and the rifle ships with a set of Weaver-style bases. The overall length is 38 inches, and it weighs just under 7.5 pounds unloaded.

Who It’s For

The Henry SPD Predator is for the hunter who values speed and accuracy in equal measure. If you call coyotes and need a rifle that can cycle fast enough for a double or triple, this is it. If you spend long days walking fence lines for prairie dogs, the lightweight build and suppressed-ready barrel will save your shoulders and ears. It is also an excellent choice for the shooter who appreciates American craftsmanship and wants a rifle that feels like an extension of the body. The straight-pull action is intuitive, and within a few rounds, you will forget you are not running a traditional bolt gun. This is not a tactical rifle or a benchrest queen; it is a working tool for the serious predator hunter.
