About this product
The Henry X Model .360 Buckhammer Lever Rifle is a modern take on a traditional lever-action platform, engineered for hunters who demand accessory compatibility without sacrificing classic handling. Built with a blued steel barrel and synthetic stock, it bridges the gap between old-school reliability and contemporary shooting needs. This rifle is specifically chambered in the straight-walled .360 Buckhammer cartridge, making it legal for deer hunting in many shotgun-only zones.
What is the Henry X Model .360 Buckhammer used for?
This rifle is designed for medium-game hunting in restrictive jurisdictions, specifically deer hunting in states with straight-walled cartridge requirements. The .360 Buckhammer delivers approximately 2,200 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, making it effective on deer-sized game out to 200 yards. Its threaded muzzle and accessory-ready forearm allow for suppressor or optic mounting, expanding its utility beyond traditional iron-sight hunting.
How does the Henry X Model compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The Henry X Model offers lever-action speed and legal compliance where the bolt-action Stevens 334 in .308 Win cannot be used. While the Stevens 334 delivers superior long-range ballistics, the Henry's tubular magazine holds 4 rounds versus the Stevens' 4-round detachable box, with faster follow-up shots being the Henry's distinct advantage in dense brush. For hunters restricted to straight-walled cartridges, the Henry is the only viable option between these two.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.2 pounds empty and measures 37.5 inches in overall length with a 20-inch barrel. The large-loop lever has a 1.5-inch clearance for gloved hands, and the synthetic stock contributes to the light weight compared to traditional walnut. Balance is forward of the lever pivot point, which aids in steady offhand shooting.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for long-range precision shooters or those hunting in states without straight-walled cartridge restrictions. The .360 Buckhammer's trajectory drops significantly beyond 250 yards, making it inferior to flatter-shooting rounds like the .308 Winchester found in the Stevens 334. It's also a poor choice for collectors seeking traditional walnut and blued steel aesthetics.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one removable tubular magazine, owner's manual, and a Henry Repeating Arms security lock. No optics, sling, or muzzle device are included—expect to spend an additional $150-$400 outfitting it for the field. The receiver comes pre-drilled for Weaver 63B-style bases, requiring separate purchase.
Is the Henry X Model worth it at $910.99?
At $910.99, this rifle justifies its price for hunters who need its specific legal compliance and modern features. The combination of threading, M-LOK slots, and drilled receiver saves approximately $200 in aftermarket gunsmithing compared to modifying a traditional lever gun. For unrestricted hunters, a Stevens 334 in .243 Win offers similar accuracy at nearly half the cost.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the muzzle threading compatible with .30 cal suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 threading is standard for .30 caliber muzzle devices. You'll need a .36 caliber or larger bore suppressor, such as a SilencerCo Omega 36M, to safely handle the .360 Buckhammer's .358 bullet diameter.
- Does it come with optic mounts installed?
- No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for Weaver 63B bases, which must be purchased separately. Installation requires a 6-48 screw set and proper torque wrench—about a 10-minute job for anyone with basic gunsmithing tools.
- How long is the warranty period?
- Henry Repeating Arms provides a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser, with typical repair turnaround of 2-3 weeks including shipping. Claims must be initiated through their customer service department with proof of purchase.
- Can I use .357 Magnum ammunition in this rifle?
- Absolutely not. Firing .357 Magnum or any other cartridge in a .360 Buckhammer chamber is extremely dangerous and will cause a catastrophic failure. The .360 Buckhammer is a dedicated cartridge with no cross-compatibility.
