Henry SPD Predator Lever Action Rifle, 18.00" Carbon Barrel, .223 Rem/5.56 NATO

SPD PREDATOR

The Most Accurate Lever-Action Ever Built

The SPD PREDATOR is purpose-built for hunters who demand decisive precision, fast follow-up shots, and absolute reliability when facing quick, elusive targets across open country, like coyotes darting along hedgerows, foxes slinking through underbrush, and wary varmints that rarely give more than a heartbeat to make the shot. Because accuracy is the difference between success and a fleeting silhouette, this rifle is tuned to deliver it with authority.

Designed by the in-house experts from our Special Products Division and backed by the only three-shot sub-MOA guarantee* in the lever-action category, the SPD PREDATOR represents a historic achievement: the most accurate lever-action rifle ever built.

The SPD PREDATOR is built on the same advanced architecture as the Lever Action Supreme Rifle, named Guns & Ammo’s 2025 Rifle of the Year. That award-winning platform established a new benchmark for accuracy and modern engineering in a lever-action. The SPD PREDATOR takes that pedigree and adapts it specifically for the demands of predator and varmint hunting, where smaller targets and longer distances require a different level of precision.

Every element of the SPD PREDATOR was designed with purpose. Chambered for .223 Rem/5.56 NATO, the rifle takes its name directly from its mission: “Precision Rifle Engineered for Dispatching Agile Targets Over Range.” Unlike traditional lever guns built for close-range big-game hunting or backyard plinking, the SPD PREDATOR embraces a lightweight, suppressor-ready, accuracy-first design meant for the varied conditions hunters encounter in the field. Whether calling across vast prairie draws or scanning farmland from the bed of a pickup truck, the rifle offers the speed of a lever action paired with the consistency of a precision bolt gun.

A match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel lies at the center of the rifle’s performance. By tension-wrapping it in carbon fiber, the SPD team achieved reduced weight, improved cooling, and the rigidity required for sub-MOA repeatability. The barrel is threaded to accept a suppressor—an advantage that can significantly reduce recoil, improve follow-up shot speed, and help keep noise levels low when targeting sound-sensitive predators that may spook after a single report.

The forged carbon-fiber Picatinny rail provides a rock-solid mounting base for everything from compact LPVOs to high-magnification predator optics, ensuring the rifle is ready for both fast shots and long holds. The gray laminate buttstock and forearm offer durability in harsh weather and feature an adjustable comb system for a precise, repeatable cheek weld. The factory-tuned trigger breaks cleanly at four pounds and offers end-user adjustability for those who prefer to fine-tune their setup. MSR-pattern magazine compatibility ensures field flexibility, while the included Harris S-LM bipod provides immediate stability when the shot presents itself.

Every SPD PREDATOR is proudly designed, engineered, and built in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, where each one is individually inspected and certified by an SPD engineer. Backed by Henry’s Lifetime Warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, and the only lever-action with a factory sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, this rifle redefines what the lever-action is capable of.

Predator hunting demands precision. The SPD PREDATOR answers with unmatched confidence.
