From the information some dealers have been telling customers with Nikon's warranty if they replace a scope under warranty you could possibly get a pair of binoculars in return. I have quite a few 1-4x20 Leupolds and never have sent one back with an issue and no worries if you do on getting treated right. Leupold is like the Henry warranty but it is on scopes and not guns. I like Nikons but only the old ones with the locking ring eye piece with the Leupold size ocular.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 10:44 amShould work fine and you can use the BDC if you go to the Nikon website and use their software program with your 30-30 load. The downside is the larger eyepiece and objective bell on the Nikon, compared to the Leupold Freedom. The Nikon will be bulkier, so you won't be able to mount it as low as the Leupold on your Henry. Also, not sure where you'll be with the Nikon warranty down the road since Nikon is getting out of the riflescope business. With Leupold, warranty is never an issue, of course.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: 1-4x 20 Scope
I caught a Nikon Blackforce 1000 1 -4 X 24 on sale before Christmas from Midsouth shooters for 199.95 with free ship. I really like it. I mounted it on my Radical Firearms 556 16 MLOK and really like it. I see their up around $300 now but if you could fine one they're really nice.

Re: 1-4x 20 Scope
The Leupold is 39.6 mm and the Nikon is 41 mm diameter (that is 0.05” difference). Not a deal breaker in my books! I’m also a Nikon guy, and have 2 other of theirs scopes already, as well as about $20,000 in camera gear. I’m not worried about warranty on a $149.00 scope.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 10:44 amThe downside is the larger eyepiece and objective bell on the Nikon, compared to the Leupold Freedom.

This one also has the “point blank” reticle, which I realized later is just a cross hair with mildot at the intersection, so the BDC thing is a non issue.

Re: 1-4x 20 Scope
I have found new scopes to be much better than the old ones.clovishound wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 2:02 pmMy buddy and I were talking the other day and he made the comment that new cheaper scopes are better than the high dollar scopes 30 years ago.
I have a 3-9 40 Nikon on my H001. It is a good scope. I have a Vortex on the .357 BBS and like it just a little better. Biggest difference is a more generous eye relief on the Vortex.

Re: 1-4x 20 Scope
I ordered the scope today. $149 with a further 10% off on Natches website. I’m hoping it’s what I’m after when it arrives...

Re: 1-4x 20 Scope
Will do Vaq. It’s going to be a little while before I get some rounds through it, but I’ll post some pics when I get it mounted. I’m going to have to take the action apart and do a quick polish on some of the internals of the 336. It is not nearly as smooth as any Henry I’ve ever cycled, but it has potential.

Re: 1-4x 20 Scope
Arrrrrgh, she be mounted! The $149.49 that Natchez is selling these for is a steal. It’s a very nice piece of glass! Comes with both flip up caps too. I mounted it using some QD rings I had, and also ordered a Skinner LoPro 2 sight to stick in the dovetail. The dovetail is slightly off level, which is noticeable with the factory buckhorn, but won’t be with the peep.

Re: 1-4x 20 Scope
Nice collection! I have been looking at shotguns. I think one will be the next addition to the toolbox.
