RICE LAKE, Wis. — Henry Repeating Arms, one of America’s leading firearms manufacturers and the world leader in lever-action rifle production, is proud to introduce the HUSH Series. The new line of suppressor-optimized lever-action rifles is the debut release from the company’s Special Products Division (SPD), a new R&D initiative focused on forward-thinking innovation. This release marks a significant expansion in Henry’s modern firearm offerings with a platform purpose-built to deliver the optimal solution for suppressed shooting and hunting without compromising weight and balance.

Lever-action rifles have long been celebrated for their inherent balance, reliability, fast follow-up shots, and more recently, their innate suppressibility due to a closed action. The HUSH Series builds on those strengths by dramatically reducing the weight forward of the receiver, ensuring the rifle’s natural point of balance is preserved even with a suppressor mounted. These refinements define Henry’s Ultimate Suppressor Host (HUSH)—offering a quieter, smarter, and more capable solution for modern hunters and shooting enthusiasts.

“Suppressor use is growing rapidly, and for good reason,” said Andy Wickstrom, President of Henry Repeating Arms. “It protects hearing, minimizes recoil, reduces game spooking, and improves the overall experience when out at the range. With the SPD’s HUSH Series, we deliver the best possible platform for running suppressed without compromise.”
