Scout Scope on BB Carbine
Scout Scope on BB Carbine
I'm looking for ideas on how other Big Boys have mounted a scout scope on the octagon barrel of their carbines. I have the small Burris 2.75x20 that would work well for me optically if I could mount it in place of the rear factory site. Anybody doing this or have seen one? Mine is the 357.

Re: Scout Scope on BB Carbine
I have put scout mounts on both Winchesters and Marlins, but in both instances, it took brand and model specific mounts to get it done. Unless you can find a scout mount made specifically for Big Boy, you'll have to explore the idea of adapting a mount from another gun to get it done. I do like a scout setup on a lever gun, myself, so best of luck.

Re: Scout Scope on BB Carbine
The earlier Big Boys are drilled and tapped under the rear sight. They use a cantilever style mount rail that is available from Henry. I would call Henry CS and see if this style would fit your carbine. If you have the old style, you probably only have to order and install the rail from Henry. If you have the newer style that has a drilled and tapped receiver, you may need to have the barrel drilled and tapped, unless they are still drilling and tapping under the sight. They have the rails on their website store under parts.

Re: Scout Scope on BB Carbine
is your Big Boy an older generation or the current generation .... on current models Henry drilled and tapped the receiver .... they offer scope mounts to fit ===> https://henrypride.com/collections/rifl ... ope-mountsShortArms wrote:I'm looking for ideas on how other Big Boys have mounted a scout scope on the octagon barrel of their carbines.

at that link they provide info on earlier models that were designed for a scope to be mounted on the barrel

Always fun to work on optics or iron sights for Henrys.
Hope all works out well mounting the scope on your BB carbine....and the .357 Magnum is a great Henry rifle choice!
