Mags, will that rail you linked work on a Henry BB steel receiver? Thanks.

Skinner makes an "Integral Peep sight/Scope Mount" that will fit your all weather 30-30, it's even available in a silver finish. It uses Tally or Warne rings.
Google: skinnersights.com/henry_rifles_18.html, it's at the bottom of that page. Best of both worlds .

My issue with the Skinner rail is that you're going to need a really tall front sight to get it to shoot to point of aim with the rear peep that high up. I fought that battle with my BBS carbine and the Lo-pro was the only one that worked for me.

I don't know the hole spacing on the BBS receiver.
But this is the hole spacing of that mount I got from Amazon.

Please let me know what the spacing is on your BBS. I've been curious for a while what spacing the BB-RSM mount has.

ps: I almost missed seeing your question. please use quoted reply. it generates a notification.

The steel receiver requires one modification. Using your diagram, starting at the left, the first two holes align at the rear of the receiver. The third hole ALMOST aligns with the forward receiver hole. I had to file a little to get the screw to line up correctly.

This is a steel carbine 357. I am not sure of the larger caliber spacing.

Good luck

The spacing is 2.9" front to very rear hole. Back two are 0.5" apart. The HOO6 and HO12 spacing are the same.
I think I did it right this time.

Might fit if there is a little slop in the mount holes to accommodate the 0.05 difference (2.85 vs 2.9). Or as Cofisher did, file the mount hole to elongate it a little bit. Also check to see if the front edge of the mount stops short of the open sights on the rifle barrel. There is 0.8 inches from the center of the last hole to the front edge of the mount, or 1.7 inches from the hole of interest.

Yeah, might just try that rail.A little tweaking will be easy enough. We shall see. Thanks Mags.
