Compact lever-action .22 shotshell rifle with 18.5" smooth bore barrel, 15-round capacity, and adjustable sights. Weighs just 5.25 lbs for easy handling.
The Henry Garden Gun represents a thoughtful solution for shooters who need effective short-range pest control without the weight and complexity of a full-sized shotgun. This lever-action .22 shotshell rifle combines proven mechanical reliability with genuine utility.
At just 5.25 pounds with an overall length of 36.5 inches, the Garden Gun is genuinely compact and quick to shoulder. The black ash furniture gives this rifle a purposeful, working-gun appearance while the blued steel components provide corrosion resistance. This is a firearm designed to be grabbed quickly and used effectively—not displayed on a shelf.
The lever action is exceptionally smooth, a hallmark of Henry's manufacturing. The blued steel hammer and trigger are integral to an action that cycles with satisfying precision. This isn't accidental; it's the result of careful engineering and quality control.
The adjustable rear sight and blade front sight are perfectly adequate for the Garden Gun's intended purpose: accurate shooting at the distances where pest control actually occurs. You won't be taking 50-yard shots with shotshell ammunition, and Henry's designers understood this.
The 15-round magazine capacity means fewer reloads during active pest control work. The .22 shotshell round is effective on small game and pests while remaining safe for use in areas where full-power rifle rounds would be inappropriate.
The Henry Garden Gun is honest equipment for a specific job. It doesn't pretend to be something it isn't, and it executes its mission with competence and style.
