The Henry H016GD Garden Gun is purpose-built for precision pest control, blending Henry’s classic lever action reliability with a smoothbore barrel tailored for use with .22 LR shotshells. If you need a quiet, effective, and safe solution for eliminating unwanted critters at close range—especially in barns, sheds, or gardens—this rifle gets the job done without over-penetration or noise concerns.
Unlike traditional rifled .22s, the smoothbore design allows .22 LR shotshells to spread effectively, delivering consistent patterns at short distances. Its compact 18.5″ barrel, polished blued finish, and American walnut stock with gunfighter grip make for a balanced, quick-handling rifle that’s both functional and handsome.
The lever action is smooth and familiar, while the 10-round capacity gives you ample follow-up shots. A transfer bar safety ensures secure operation when cocked.
