Henry SPD Predator: Precision Varmint Rifle in .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO

The Henry SPD Predator represents a dedicated departure from traditional lever-action designs, offering a bolt-action platform engineered for long-range accuracy in varmint and predator control. Chambered for the versatile .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO cartridges, this rifle combines Henry Repeating Arms’ reputation for quality with modern tactical features. Whether you are engaging prairie dogs at extended distances or managing coyote populations, the Henry SPD Predator delivers consistent, sub-MOA performance straight from the factory floor.

Overview

The Henry SPD Predator is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle designed specifically for the serious hunter and precision shooter. Unlike many production rifles that require aftermarket upgrades, the SPD Predator arrives ready for the field with a heavy-contour, free-floated barrel and an adjustable trigger system. The action is glass-bedded into a synthetic stock reinforced with aluminum bedding pillars, ensuring that the action remains stable regardless of weather conditions or shooting position. This model represents Henry’s commitment to the bolt-action market, offering a platform that competes directly with custom-level rifles while maintaining the reliability expected from a major American manufacturer.

Features & Specs

The Henry SPD Predator is built around a 22-inch, 416-grade stainless steel barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, optimized to stabilize heavier .223 and 5.56 projectiles commonly used for predator hunting. The barrel features a target crown and is threaded 1/2×28 for suppressor or muzzle brake attachment. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Picatinny scope bases, and the rifle ships with a two-piece base set. The synthetic stock incorporates a full-length aluminum bedding block and features an adjustable cheek riser and length-of-pull spacers. The two-stage trigger is adjustable from 2.5 to 4.5 pounds, providing a crisp break with minimal overtravel. The rifle operates with a three-position safety and a detachable box magazine holding four rounds.

Who It’s For

This rifle is intended for the precision-minded varmint hunter, predator caller, and target shooter who demands factory-level accuracy without the wait or cost of a custom build. The Henry SPD Predator is particularly well-suited for hunters who operate in varied terrain and require a rifle that maintains zero through harsh conditions. The adjustable stock and threaded barrel make it an excellent choice for shooters who plan to use suppressors or prefer a customized length of pull. It is also appropriate for competitive shooters in disciplines such as NRL Hunter or PRS production classes, where the combination of weight, barrel profile, and trigger adjustability offers a competitive advantage. This is not a general-purpose brush gun; it is a specialized tool for those who prioritize shot placement and consistency over portability.

• Varmint and predator hunters requiring flat trajectory and wind-bucking capability
• Shooters who value interchangeable ammunition options between .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO
• Those seeking a production rifle with custom-level accuracy and adjustable stock geometry
