Henry Long Ranger Express - A Contemporary Lever Carbine

This 5.56 / .223 chambered lever action carbine from Henry Repeating Arms has a lot of modern features and is made from modern materials. In this video I share my first impressions of this carbine.
This video was recorded at The Buffalo Range.

Henry needs to make one of these in 7.62x39. Even cheaper ammo and almost 30-30 ballistics.

[@floridadad2817]

Or a 300 Blackout. That seems like an easier one to pull off.

[@justinkayz8995]

I'd buy it in 7.62x39

[@la_old_salt2241]

Yes, a 7.62x39mm please. Ruger should have offered it in their lever rifle years ago, that and fire the lawyers who talked them into designing it so you couldn't top off the magazine.

[@kpsgoing]

Exactly

[@terryleblanc6868]

@@la_old_salt2241 Ruger has a video showing how to load the magazine while it will properly top off and feed right

"As hot as a tablespoon in a crack house." I'll use that! Great shooting, nice little rifle!

[@taofledermaus]

Nice demonstration! I'd like to see some little tomato sauce long range shots though! lol

[@Valorius]

Stay in your lane slug man! ;)

[@scottmorgan1016]

You do such a good job. That's a sharp carbine for sure. But that hot rod golf cart is perfect. Take care

[@ericjohanson806]

“Hotter than a tablespoon in a crackhouse!” Buffalo the poet.

[@joshuagibson2520]

I love that you don't have a bunch of dumbass intros and act like a fool throughout your video. I appreciate all the tests and data you share with us. Much appreciated Buffalo.

[@fyisense9312]

Yeah! As soon as I get the notification I'm watching. Plus, the dude can shoot.

[@joshuagibson2520]

@@fyisense9312 sure can!

[@atomize]

Man, if you would've drilled that fly while it was on the bullseye I may have fallen out of my chair. Nice video. Really like how you show down range, it's very clear.

[@daveshsb]

"Hotter than a table spoon in a crack house" - hilarious!! Always learning stuff watching your channel. Overtravel this time...a very good demonstration of what exactly it is. I really like Henry rifles, the Long Ranger is no exception. A carbine version is cool!

[@stevee8318]

Lever action with box mag is very interesting. I also like the new target cam. thanks for the video

[@Perry2186]

its not new Savage did it in 1899, Winchester in 1895, and this henry is close in design to a Browning BLR thats been made since the 60s

[@exothermal.sprocket]

If you are a very observant, careful, conscientious individual, you can take your typical tube-fed lever action and fire modern spitzer style bullets through it no problem whatsoever; just never load more than one round in the magazine and one round in the chamber at a time. Fire, load another. Fire, load another. You essentially have a fast two-shot.

[@dougdottery1284]

Could you please miss some shots on occasion so us normal shooters won't feel so bad. That gun has an interesting trigger. I like it.

[@PatRMG]

I've really been enjoying my LRE.

[@bmaxse]

Holy Buffalo! That shooting, while we are not surprised (of you), it's still a great pleasure and inspiring to watch, every time.

[@jeffcolwell7391]

That's what I call a work of art this is on my wish list

[@janrobertbos]

WOW, you`re still the MAN!!! Greetz from France this time...............

[@alfredzig2035]

12:18 Funny how that unplanned chat about the trigger actually saved the poor bug's life :D

[@deannakoa3]

OUTSTANDING SHOOT!! GREAT SHOOTING ! Quarter coin size grouping

[@SuperSneakySteve]

Such a beautiful and handy rifle. I own a Henry Big Boy and I can say they are of the highest quality. I want one of these.

[@twistedyogert]

Isn't the Big Boy chambered in 45-70?

[@timshelley8635]

Hotter than a tablespoon at a crack house! Lol! Great line, and a great video! Thanks Buffalo!

[@everydaycarrymonkey2691]

Looks like Henry churned through their initial run of these so hopefully they'll ramp it up with the AR-compatible threading. I'm in love with this carbine. Congrats, Buffalo...not only another great video from you but this will be my 4th gun purchased because of your trusty reviews!

[@KD-lb9bg]

Henry absolutely needs to produce this in 7.62/308 Winchester. Great video as always, thanks much.

[@almaadams3631]

??? They do chamber these in 308(762×51) maybe 6.5 Creedmore( don't quote me)

[@ShaneTheGeek]

They do not produce the Long Ranger Express 16in version in anything other than 223/5.56. Henry does however produce the Long Ranger 20in in .223/5.56, .243, .308, and 6.5 Creedmoor!

[@comiketiger]

That was some good shooting and fine performance from a lever action in general. Great job. God bless all here.

[@larryalexander4833]

Hello Buffalo. Liked the funny joke 🤣. Reminds me of a Browning blr .

[@skipgreen]

That fly on the target was asking for it... almost became a hunting video.. which would have obviously de-monetized this wonderful video.

[@jovanjohn8294]

I would love to seek them make an 18” 308 long ranger with aperture sights and the ability to mount an optic.

[@evocati6523]

I wonder if you could mount a tang sight on these

[@jovanjohn8294]

@@evocati6523 I’m not sure. Skinner makes a one piece scope mount/aperture sight.

I wish Rossi made one. It'd be more of a novelty and I'm SO not about paying a grand for a novelty. Looks cool though! 😎

[@94twentytwo76]

Great video as usual Mr. Buffalo 👍🏻 .223 lever is an interesting machine for sure! Always liked the Browning…… certainly looks to be similar in design for sure. All the best Boss 👍🏻

[@frankbrowning328]

It is basically a Browning BLR. Beautiful accuracy. We have a Henry plant here in WI

[@56Spookdog]

Uncle Jed and Jethro would have hit that fly, nice shooting and Henry.

[@Eric_in_VA]

I love this carbine but it does seem a tad expensive. Great job as always!

Hey it’s so great to see you out there shooting brother! I don’t care if you just go out and shoot a can of Barbasol and call it a day. Don’t let the trolls get the better of ya - we just love to see you out there having fun so we can live vicariously through you! 🍻

[@paulharveu526]

I like that Henry used a wood stock on this, even if it's a laminate. I really wish they had their 357mag rifle, with loading gate and threaded barrel in a wood stock; if I'm gonna pay Henry money, I want that pretty wood.

[@paulharveu526]

I know they have the Henry X; Marlin triple black and a Rossi tactical or something; but I don't want black plastic on a lever gun.

🤔 this is the first time I’ve seen this rifle being reviewed 👍 tho would have been nice to see it’s groups with 55gr V Max or 55gr spiritual soft points. Good shooten👍😊🎯

Henry does make some very high quality firearms, and Buffalo is a great shot. I would like to have seen it shot with the bulk box FMJ since that's what most folks will use practicing with that rifle.

My favorite Giselle trigger(SG3) has that " falling of the wall" feel to it. I think they are used for 3 gun type competitions. I have a hand injury, maybe that's why I like that "surprise" sear release. I have this trigger in 3 of my AR builds.

Interesting, Rice Lake, Wisconsin. Our old vacation spot.

[@TheLoneRanger745]

Wow that's awesome shootn Bud,. I started watching your videos a few weeks ago, testing 22lr ammo and your 6 shooters ,. Your one hell of a great shot. I'm subscribed so I can learn more from you, I'm real impressed with your knowledge about all this stuff,. I've become disabled after a life long career in heavy construction 59 now, so I took up firearms target practice as a hobby because with my neck screwed& plated and low back bolted with rods and screws and both shoulders fixed ,I can't do much of anything else. Not to mention constant PAIN ! ALSO I figured self defense would be a good idea (considering my condition) I'm a year in now got the CCW and hit the range once or twice a month. I got a lot to learn yet ,. Thank for teaching guys like me Buddy .

[@davidbeal8054]

Nice video. What a desirable carbine! Henry makes wonderful rifles. I have three of '94 models. A standard in .357 mag, a fantastic 30-30, and a .44 mag in a true carbine (very carbine-y). All have been flawless on deer. --- of course, in the Pacific Northwest our blacktails don't get too large. I expect to have all of them until I visit the happy hunting ground.
