Henry H12 Provider Rifle: 44 Mag / 44 Spl, 20" Barrel, Model H012PG-44M

The H12 Provider Rifle is built around a simple truth: a rifle should earn its place in your safe by helping you provide.

For generations, lever actions have been trusted companions in the woods, not because they were trendy or flashy, but because they worked. They were carried on early mornings, leaned against tree trunks, and brought home what mattered. The H12 Provider Rifle carries that tradition forward, blending classic American craftsmanship with thoughtful refinements that make it more comfortable, more capable, and more useful for today’s hunter.

With its 20″ round blued steel barrel, genuine American walnut pistol-grip stock, and ventilated rubber recoil pad, the H12 Provider Rifle is designed to be carried all day and shot with confidence. It balances easily in the hands, settles naturally into position, and swings with a smoothness that makes it feel like an extension of the body rather than a tool.

The pistol-grip stock is a meaningful addition to the platform, offering a more relaxed wrist angle and better trigger control, particularly when shooting from seated or supported positions. Over the course of a long hunt, those small ergonomic advantages add up to greater comfort, steadier shots, and less fatigue.

The longer barrel does more than enhance the rifle’s classic proportions. It improves ballistic efficiency and maximizes tube capacity, allowing the H12 Provider Rifle to carry up to ten rounds for some extra peace of mind. Fewer reloads mean more focus on the moment and more confidence that a follow-up shot will be there when it matters.

Chambered in either .44 Magnum/.44 Special, the H12 Provider Rifle offers versatility that few rifles can match. The .357/.38 pairing provides low recoil, affordable practice, and excellent performance for small game and predator control. The .44 pairing offers greater authority on target, making it a capable option for deer-sized game at moderate distances. Both are practical, time-tested combinations that suit real-world needs.

While its blued steel and walnut furniture honor traditional lever guns, the H12 Provider Rifle is designed for modern use and cartridges. Fully adjustable sights allow for precise zeroing, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for optional optics mounting. Sling swivel studs are installed from the factory, making it ready to carry straight out of the box. The ventilated recoil pad adds comfort during long range sessions or extended days afield, helping reduce fatigue without adding bulk.

The name Provider is not an accident. It reflects what this rifle is meant to do: help put food on the table, season after season. It is not about novelty or excess. It is about responsibility, stewardship, and trust.
