Owners of the Henry SPD Predator often comment on the novelty of a lever-action built specifically for varmint and predator hunting. The carbon fiber barrel keeps weight down, and the threaded muzzle gives options for accessories, which owners appreciate for a lever gun.

The detachable magazine is a talking point: it departs from traditional Henry tube-fed designs, and reactions are mixed. Some shooters value the faster reloads for field use, while traditionalists wish Henry had stayed with the classic design. The included Harris bipod is generally viewed as a practical addition that justifies part of the price.

The SPD Predator's gray laminate stock and overall fit and finish draw consistent positive remarks. The main criticism tends to center on the lever-action cycle speed compared to bolt-action alternatives in the same predator-hunting role.
