The Henry SPD CRUSR Rifle is a purpose-built, modern lever action designed for guides, backcountry outfitters, and hunters who operate far from the nearest road. Developed by Henry’s Special Products Division (SPD), the CRUSR focuses on one mission: delivering a lightweight, durable rifle that performs reliably in the world’s most demanding environments. Weighing just 6.7 lbs. with an overall length of 35.25 inches, the CRUSR is compact, rugged, and built for mobility. Chambered in .45-70 Government with a 4+1 capacity, it provides the proven stopping power needed for dangerous game across all seven continents. The rifle was developed in collaboration with Field Ethos’ gear development team, whose real-world experience helped shape every detail.

From materials to finishes, the CRUSR was engineered for practical field performance. The partnership is marked by a subtle ghosted “FE” logo beneath the ejection port. At its core is a 16.5-inch match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel tension-wrapped in carbon fiber, reducing weight while improving heat dissipation and accuracy. The magazine tube eliminates the traditional cartridge cutout to better keep dirt and debris out in harsh conditions. Critical moving components including the bolt body, trigger, hammer, and side loading gate are protected with Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) for exceptional wear resistance.

Other exterior surfaces feature Cerakote® finishes, with Midnight Bronze on the M-LOK® handguard and synthetic buttstock and Midnight Blue on the remaining metal surfaces. A 5/8×24 threaded muzzle allows for suppressor use in the field to reduce recoil and sound signature. While optics can be mounted using the receiver’s Picatinny rail or Weaver 63B hole spacing beneath it, the rifle is equipped with rugged iron sights a ghost ring rear sight paired with a brass bead front sight for fast target acquisition. Every CRUSR Rifle is built in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, individually inspected and certified by an SPD engineer, and backed by Henry’s Lifetime Warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. The result is a compact, expedition-grade lever action built to perform wherever the trail leads.
