Henry Repeating Arms has announced the release of the SPD CRUSR Rifle. This is a collaborative project between Henry’s Special Products Division (SPD) and Field Ethos. The ultralight lever action is designed to shrug off the elements with a best-in-class feature set tailored to professional guides, backcountry outfitters and hunters who push their expeditions deep into the world’s most unforgiving places.
“The CRUSR Rifle was developed because we wanted the lowest maintenance, lightest, most compact lever gun ever made in .45-70 Gov’t,” said Jason Vincent, Founder and CEO of Field Ethos. “The cartridge will kill anything on earth, and the ammo is available globally. We wanted a rifle you’d never have to think about, and this is it.”
Measuring 35.25-inches overall with a 16.5-inch carbine-length barrel, its compact form is ideal for long miles in tight timber, steep ascents, or space and weight-constrained bush flights. At just 6.7 pounds, it sheds unnecessary bulk without compromising strength through smart material choices. Its 5/8×24 threaded muzzle ensures seamless suppressor integration for recoil and sound signature reduction. It delivers more than enough stopping power for all seven continents with a 4+1 capacity of .45-70 Gov’t and enough structural overhead to handle +P hunting cartridges. Unlike other Henry lever actions, the outer magazine tube is devoid of a cartridge cutout to maximize Cerakote coverage, keep out dirt and debris and eliminate the shine of the brass inner magazine tube from showing externally.
“The Field Ethos team brought an undeniable energy to the product creation process, and the CRUSR Rifle is a direct result of that energy,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “With the Special Products Division, we set out to create truly specialized, out-of-the-box configurations for specific use cases, and this rifle achieves that mission by setting a new benchmark for modern expedition-grade lever guns.”
The SPD CRUSR Rifle (model H010FE) is now shipping to Henry dealers nationwide. MSRP $2,499.
