Henry SPD Predator Rifle: Precision in .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO

The Henry SPD Predator is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle engineered for varmint hunting, target shooting, and tactical precision. Chambered in .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, this model delivers reliable accuracy straight from the factory. Henry Repeating Arms has designed the SPD Predator for shooters who demand repeatable performance without unnecessary weight or complexity. Whether you are dispatching groundhogs at 300 yards or ringing steel at the range, the Henry SPD Predator provides a consistent platform for tight groups.

Overview

Henry Repeating Arms expanded beyond lever actions with the SPD lineup, and the Predator variant stands out as a dedicated field rifle. The Henry SPD Predator features a free-floated, threaded barrel and a modular synthetic stock. It accepts standard AR-15 magazines, bridging the gap between traditional bolt-action ergonomics and modern capacity. The action is built on a two-lug bolt with a 60-degree throw, allowing fast cycling without scope interference. This rifle is chambered for both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO, giving you flexibility in ammunition selection. The overall length is kept manageable, making it easy to carry through brush or set up in a blind.

Features & Specs

The Henry SPD Predator is built around a cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing heavier bullets in .223/5.56. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and comes with a thread protector, ready for a suppressor or muzzle brake. The stock is a black synthetic with a textured grip and an adjustable comb, accommodating different cheek weld heights. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases. The trigger is user-adjustable from approximately 2.5 to 5 pounds, allowing you to dial in pull weight. Magazine compatibility is a key feature: the rifle accepts standard AR-pattern STANAG magazines, giving you access to widely available 10-round, 20-round, and 30-round options.

Who It Is For

The Henry SPD Predator is designed for the shooter who needs a lightweight, accurate bolt gun that runs on common AR magazines. It is ideal for varmint hunters who walk miles in fields and need a rifle that balances carry weight with terminal performance on small game. It also suits precision shooters who want a reliable platform for steel targets out to 600 yards. Because it accepts 5.56 NATO ammunition, it is a practical choice for those already stocking that caliber for other firearms. This rifle is not a specialized benchrest model; it is a field-ready tool that delivers consistent accuracy without exotic modifications. If you require a bolt-action that feeds from standard AR mags and shoots both .223 and 5.56, the Henry SPD Predator is a direct solution.

• Varmint and predator hunters seeking a light, fast-handling rifle
• Shooters who prefer bolt-action reliability with AR magazine convenience
• Owners of AR-15s who want a compatible magazine pool for a bolt gun
