Henry Adds .450 Bushmaster to the Lever Action Supreme Rifle
The Henry Lever Action Supreme Rifle, Guns & Ammo’s Rifle of the Year, just got a new chambering. The LASR is now available in .450 Bushmaster, and for hunters in straight-wall cartridge states, this is the addition that makes the platform genuinely field-ready for big game. The .223 and .300 BLK variants were already out there, but .450 Bushmaster brings the kind of terminal performance that matters when you need to put something large and unpleasant on the ground at deer season distances.
The .450 Bushmaster LASR runs an 18-inch free-floated blued steel barrel and ships with a DuraMag Stainless Steel 10-round magazine. The platform is MSR-magazine compatible, so if you want to push capacity beyond 10 rounds you have options. The match-grade trigger breaks at 4 pounds out of the box and is user-adjustable within a 1-pound range using the included hex key, which is a legitimately useful feature for a hunting rifle that might need to be tuned for gloved hands in cold weather.
The muzzle is threaded for suppressor use. Lever actions are inherently well-suited for suppressed shooting because there is no gas system creating additional noise at the action, and the .450 Bushmaster chambering in particular makes a lot of sense in that context for anyone in a suppressor-friendly state who hunts deer or hogs.
