First Look Henry Long Ranger Express Lead

Building on the success of the original Long Rangers, Henry Repeating Arms set out to create a utilitarian, multi-purpose and capable rifle for the contemporary outdoorsman. More than just a precision game-getter, the new trimmed down and ruggedized Long Ranger Express is equally capable at hunting your property as it is defending it.

Henry Long Ranger Express Lever Action Rifle

For an all-purpose rifle, practical accuracy, mobility and ammunition availability should be prioritized over outright firepower. Henry chose to chamber the Long Ranger Express in .223 Rem./5.56 NATO, fed from a 5-round steel-bodied detachable box magazine. The Express features a quick-handling carbine-length 16½-inch barrel, threaded ⅝×24 to accept a muzzle device.

The most obvious aesthetic departure from the standard Long Ranger is the Express’ weather-resistant birch laminate furniture, which provides increased moisture resistance, durability and stability. Integral sling swivels sit fore and aft, and a solid black rubber recoil pad aids in recoil control and follow-up shot speed, where this lever action excels.

Henry Long Ranger Express Action

Atop the black-anodized aerospace-grade aluminum receiver sits a factory mounted Picatinny rail, ready to accept a red dot, variable optic or fixed-magnification scope of your choice.

The Long Ranger Express has an MSRP of $1,235. For more information, visit henryusa.com.

New for 2026: Leupold VX-4HD

First Look: Blocker Outdoors Finisher Chest Pack Pro

The Blocker Outdoors Finisher Chest Pack Pro is the kind of gear that takes the basic tenets of turkey hunting into consideration, while attempting to minimize the burden of a cumbersome full-size vest. This makes it a a straightforward alternative to a full-size turkey vest for run-and-gun hunters who want to balance loadout with freedom of movement.

The Value of Post Season Scouting in the Snow

Although for most of the country deer season is over, there are some important aspects of deer hunting to be understood, particularly when it snows during the winter months. In my part of the country, we don’t often get a good blanket of snow until the deer season closes. However, when it does snow, I make a point to get outdoors and visit each of my hunting areas to learn when the learning is best.

Tuo Introduces New Camouflage Pattern: Ryse

Tuo launched its proprietary Verse camo pattern in 2024. While the supplemental light tans and sharp lines render effectiveness in wooded environments as well, Tuo wanted to offer a second exclusive pattern for whitetail hunters. It has done so with Ryse.

New for 2026: SIG Sauer Zulu10 HDX Binoculars
