Picatinny rail for Henry Long Ranger
Henry Repeating Arms is a newer American rifle brand that consciously draws on the classic Henry history of the 19th century. Many associate the name with lever-action rifles in .22 LR, .30-30, and .45-70 Govt, but the Henry Long Ranger is a distinct hunting rifle in their range and requires its own Picatinny rail. This is precisely why Henry models must be treated individually: the mounting style varies between rimfire models, centerfire models, and the Long Ranger.
On this page, the choice specifically concerns the Henry Long Ranger. According to product data, the rail fits the Henry Long Ranger, has A/B/C dimensions of 12.7 / 54 / 12.7 mm, and a length of 155 mm. It is available as 0 MOA, so there is no need to choose between different inclinations for this rail.
Check hole pattern and mounting style before ordering
The Henry name covers several rifles, and the Long Ranger should not be chosen based on the brand name alone. Some Henry rifles have milled grooves, while others use drilled and tapped holes for screw mounting. The crucial factors are therefore the mounting style, hole spacing, and contact surface on the specific rifle. Use the A/B/C check dimensionsto compare the rifle's receiver with the rail's dimensions before ordering.
Material and mounting
The rail for the Henry Long Ranger is a steel rail. This is well-suited for a hunting rifle, where the mount must provide a stable and repeatable surface for a scope or other optics. On Henry rifles with milled grooves, the situation is different from a Long Ranger with screw mounting, and therefore you should not transfer experience from one Henry model to another without checking the mounting style. If you want to understand the difference in material choices, we cover it in the guide on steel vs. aluminum for Picatinny rails.
When mounting, the rail should be positioned so that the holes align with the holes in the receiver. If necessary, use a small amount of suitable threadlocker, and remove any excess oil or threadlocker from the rail and contact surfaces. The general procedure is described in our guide to mounting a Picatinny rail.
The Henry Long Ranger is a distinct rail choice. Therefore, do not choose a rail based on the Henry name alone, but based on the model, mounting style, and the actual dimensions of the rifle.
