Anyone know how I go about getting this to mount onto my Steel Carbine 357 Henry Big Boy (H012MR)?
I have pretty bad eyesight and was considering a skinner peep, but I'd love to have this red dot on my big boy.
It's a prism sight too so will work without batteries which sounds awesome.
I'm a new gun owner and I am not knowledgeable of this.
I am guessing I need this first?

To mount it?

welcome to our community .... I believe you have it figured out .... the first picture shows the mount used on one of our Henry rifles topped with a standard scope ... the second picture shows an Aimpoint mounted on one of our revolvers with the same style mount

please consider going to the thread below and add your Henry to our forum total

Welcome to the forum from CT, SteelCarbine357! Glad you joined the conversation. I'm looking forward to an update on your Henry.

Welcome to the forum! And yes, I think that's what you need.

Thank you for the feedback, appreciate it. Ill give it a try.

Well here's how it ended up lookin' if anyone's interested.

[SteelCarbine357]

Great sight. Bit heavy is all as expected.

Rifle no longer feels "perfect" for me. That pound of difference really effected my comfort.
But the improved speed and accuracy is keeping the sight on my Henry for sure.

having a loading tube full of ammo, half full or empty can change the balance .... don't know if it would make a difference in how your Henry feels to your

This was a great optic for close quarters, self defense purposes.
I couldn't get cheek weld obviously but for quick acquisition in close quarters it was very fast and worked well.
Up to 25 yards i was able to bring the gun up and hit within an inch of intended target area instantaneously.
The illuminated reticles were very bright and useful.
My interests have changed however, and It was getting too odd without cheek weld, not to mention the strange look of it was starting to bug me. As I started practicing longer shots I started noticing a lot of troubles. I was picking up bad habits with this scope, the way it forces me to shoot. Switched it out for a weaver v3 1-3x. Much happier.

lol okay, weaver 1-3, much better.

i used these rings

I feel like I could get away with low rings, but the front sight may be too visible then. this is fine.
perfect 1x both eyes open. great scope, nice reticle.

this is the furthest forward i can get without sacrificing eye relief. scope is relatively light, feels about the same weight as previous sight.
