Henry Repeating Arms is no stranger to innovation, but their latest achievement has set a new industry benchmark. The company’s Lever Action Supreme Rifle (LASR) has been named 2025 Rifle of the Year by Guns & Ammo magazine, one of the most respected publications in the firearms world.
The award was announced as part of Guns & Ammo’s rigorous annual evaluation process, which includes field testing, performance analysis, in-store availability, and value assessments. Out of every rifle released in 2025, Henry’s LASR came out on top.
Breaking New Ground
In their feature story hitting newsstands November 5, Guns & Ammo called Henry’s accomplishment “nothing short of remarkable.” The editors praised the LASR for combining modern modularity with classic lever-action reliability, creating what they described as “a rifle that bridges America’s past and future.”
The Lever Action Supreme Rifle’s standout feature is its ability to feed reliably from MSR-pattern detachable box magazines; a first for a production lever-action rifle. This system works seamlessly thanks to Henry’s proprietary quad-bar linkage action, which ensures smooth cycling and flawless operation without interference from the magazine.
The editors also highlighted several other key attributes that set the LASR apart:
- Sub-MOA accuracy potential straight from the factory
- Suppressor-ready barrel design for modern versatility
- Exceptional balance and handling that maintains Henry’s trademark feel
- Premium materials and craftsmanship consistent with the company’s heritage

Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms, expressed pride in his team’s work and the recognition from Guns & Ammo.
“We set out with this rifle to raise the bar for America’s most iconic rifle platform, and this award suggests that the team was able to accomplish just that,” said Imperato. “We’re honored that Guns & Ammo has recognized the fruits of our labor, and I am incredibly proud of the many bright minds that came together to make this rifle a reality.”
