Here is the 1860 Henry carried on my horse. I'm pretty happy with how it carries. Since I modified the scabbard the rifle fits very well. Doesn't move around at all even at a nice steady jog.

Looks good. That triple K seems to match the stock wood color pretty good too.

I like the Triple K stuff, really well made using gear.

Just got my Triple K order. Check it out. Nice Slim Jim cross draw holster that fits my 1860 Colt SAA and a real nice buckskin cover for the Henry 1860. Love their stuff. Great prices too!
The rifle sheath is heavy duty. If you've always wanted one but didn't want to drop $350+ check out these for under $100!!

I also ended up moving my rifle back to the "off-side" on my saddle. It was just too much in the way on the side I cinch up on, plus stepping on and off on that side with the extra weight of the rifle kept cranking my saddle off kilter too much. So it's back on the business side, and I'll just have to be aware when roping critters that it's there.
It's much better balanced when riding as well. Guess there's a reason you see them on that side often.

can it be tilted to where the butt stock is 3" +/- lower ? .... if so, would that help with throwing a leg over when mounting/dismounting ?

I can, but it doesn't bother me as is. I played with it quite a bit up and down, I just don't want it to slide out when I'm climbing hills....I ride in quite a bit of brush sometimes, so the more I can get it up close to the horse and out of the way the better, specifically the muzzle end.
