Henry H1 Classic Garden Gun, 22WMR Shotshell

The Henry Garden Gun is one that belongs right by your side as soon as you walk out the front door to start the day’s chores. Tuck it next to the seat of your tractor or riding mower and have it at the ready for when something slithers into view through the grass, dispatch those barn-dwelling birds without dispatching the barn around them, or exterminate the mice that are turning your garden into a buffet. This smoothbore lever action is a workhorse that belongs in a toolbox just as much as a gun safe.

Using shotshells with a rifled barrel spreads the shot pattern too wide to be effective and damages the rifling over time, which is why the Henry H1 Garden Gun features an 18.5” round blued steel barrel that is void of any rifling. The result is the perfect platform for slinging .22 shotshell projectiles in a tight, consistent pattern. Available in both .22 LR and .22 Magnum, you can tailor your pest-control solution to the task at hand. The .22 LR version offers a generous 15-round capacity, while the .22 Magnum variant delivers added punch with a 12-round capacity.

The black ash furniture provides a rugged look and sets this smoothbore apart from the otherwise very similar H1 Classic Rifle. A blued steel hammer, lever, and trigger are at the heart of the exceptionally smooth action, which you must feel to believe. The adjustable rear sight and blade front sight provide all the accuracy you could need for the short-range shots the Garden Gun is intended for. At a mere 5.25 lbs. and a compact overall length of 36.5”, this is a trim package built for grab-and-go convenience.
