Henry SPD Predator: Precision Bolt-Action Rifle for Varmint and Predator Control

The Henry SPD Predator represents a dedicated platform for shooters who demand accuracy and reliability in the field. Chambered in the versatile .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO, this rifle is engineered from the ground up for varmint hunting, target shooting, and predator management. As part of Henry Repeating Arms’ expanding line of modern sporting rifles, the SPD Predator combines American craftsmanship with tactical performance, delivering a tool that performs consistently under demanding conditions.

Overview

The Henry SPD Predator is a bolt-action rifle built on a robust receiver with a heavy-contour barrel designed to manage heat and maintain precision during extended strings of fire. Its stock features a durable synthetic construction with an adjustable comb and length of pull, allowing the shooter to achieve a proper cheek weld and eye alignment with optics. The rifle is equipped with a threaded muzzle for suppressor or brake attachment, a two-stage trigger for a clean break, and a detachable box magazine. This model is optimized for the .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO cartridge, giving the shooter access to a wide range of factory ammunition for pest control, steel ringing, or predator calling.

Every Henry SPD Predator is assembled at the Henry factory in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and undergoes function testing before shipment. The action is glass-bedded for consistency, and the barrel is free-floated to reduce accuracy-robbing contact points. Whether you are working a prairie dog town or calling coyotes at dawn, this rifle provides the mechanical accuracy necessary for first-shot confidence.

Features and Specs

The Henry SPD Predator comes standard with a set of features that support field use and precision shooting. Key specifications include a 22-inch heavy barrel with a 1:8 twist rate, a two-position safety, and an integral Picatinny rail for mounting optics. The synthetic stock is textured at grip points for positive handling in wet conditions, and the buttpad is designed to reduce felt recoil while maintaining a stable shooting position.

• Caliber: .223 Remington / 5.56 NATO with a 1:8 twist rate for stabilizing heavier bullets
• Barrel: 22-inch heavy-contour, free-floated, with a threaded muzzle (5/8×24 pattern)
• Stock: Synthetic with adjustable comb and length of pull, textured grip surfaces
• Trigger: Two-stage adjustable, breaking cleanly with minimal overtravel
• Magazine: Detachable box magazine, 5-round capacity
• Safety: Two-position thumb safety, bolt unlock button for safe chamber checks

The rifle weighs approximately 8.5 pounds unloaded, making it manageable for walk-and-call hunts while providing enough heft to steady shots from field positions. The overall length is 42 inches, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases. The finish is a flat dark earth Cerakote on the metal surfaces, reducing glare and providing corrosion resistance.

Who It Is For

The Henry SPD Predator is designed for the serious varmint hunter, predator caller, and precision-oriented shooter. If you spend time behind a rifle on prairie dog towns, coyote stands, or steel target ranges, this platform delivers the accuracy and repeatability required for effective shooting. The adjustable stock accommodates shooters of different sizes and shooting positions, and the threaded barrel allows for suppressor use where legal. This rifle is also suitable for the shooter who wants a dedicated .223 bolt action that can handle both factory loads and handloads with consistency.

While the Henry SPD Predator is a capable rifle for new shooters under proper training, its design priorities align with experienced users who understand the demands of field marksmanship. The two-stage trigger and free-floated barrel reward the shooter who can hold steady and call their shots. This is not a general-purpose plinking rifle; it is a tool built for a specific job: delivering precise shots at moderate to long ranges on small to medium targets.
