Henry SPD Predator
The Henry SPD Predator is an extension of Henry’s magazine-fed Lever Action Supreme platform—a lever-action rifle engineered to extract precision bolt-action accuracy from a lever gun action. Available in .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, and 6.5 Creedmoor, the SPD Predator ships with a threaded barrel for suppressor use, a precision-grade American walnut stock with adjustable comb, and Henry’s detachable box magazine system that allows faster reloads than tubular magazine designs. For hunters and varmint shooters who want lever-action handling with precision rifle capability, the SPD Predator is the most capable lever-action platform Henry has built.

SPD Predator vs. Standard Henry Lever Action: What Changes
The standard Henry lever-action rifles use tubular magazines loaded from the muzzle and are chambered for pistol-caliber and traditional rifle cartridges. The SPD Predator is built on a fundamentally different action—the Lever Action Supreme—that uses a detachable box magazine, allows pointed spitzer bullets (which tubular magazines cannot safely accommodate), and is chambered for modern rifle cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor. The result is a lever-action rifle that can genuinely compete with bolt-action accuracy while retaining the fast-follow-up handling of a lever gun.
Threaded Barrel and Suppressor Use
The SPD Predator ships with a threaded muzzle in the standard thread pitch for its caliber, ready for suppressor mounting without an adapter. Lever-action rifles are increasingly popular suppressor hosts because the action type means no gas blowback into the shooter’s face and no ejected case to deal with during suppressed fire—just the smooth lever cycling sound and the suppressed muzzle report. For hunters who run suppressors for hearing protection and reduced game disturbance, the SPD Predator offers a genuinely practical suppressed hunting platform in a distinctive lever-action format.
Caliber Options: .223, .243, and 6.5 Creedmoor
The .223 Remington configuration is the varmint and predator hunting option—flat shooting, affordable for volume shooting, and appropriate for coyote, prairie dog, and similar applications. The .243 Winchester bridges varmint and deer hunting with a cartridge capable of both. The 6.5 Creedmoor is the long-range option—the same cartridge that has dominated precision rifle competition—giving the SPD Predator genuine 500+ yard capability in a lever-action package. The 6.5 Creedmoor SPD Predator is the most surprising configuration: a lever gun that competes with purpose-built long-range bolt actions.
Adjustable Comb and Precision Stock
The SPD Predator’s American walnut stock includes an adjustable comb that raises or lowers the cheek piece to achieve a consistent cheek weld with different optic heights. This matters for precision shooting where a repeatable head position directly affects shot-to-shot consistency. The stock geometry is also designed for scope use rather than iron sights, unlike traditional lever-action stocks which typically place the shooter’s eye low and far forward relative to a mounted optic.
