Oh, yeah! Once you have it sighted in, you're gonna be a happy camper. Didn't think I'd be scoping my levers; eyesight told me differently.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Honestly, I don't like the idea myself, but, the eyes have it as they
say. The old peepers ain't what they once was. So......

I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

How close is your rear sight to the bell on the scope? With medium rings, I had to remove mine and install the dove tail fill in blank.
Good choice on scope and rings too. What load do you plan to dial it in with?

I used the high mount rings, close, but not touching.
My reloads are Hornady 300 gr.JHP, Starline brass, IMR4198
41grs, CCI LR primer. Works great

I went with the Freedom 1.5-4x20 and low rings.

John, I pondered on the ring height for quite a while. Couldn't find any specs on dimensions, etc. Wanted to keep it low, but my nerve
and my gut won out & went with the high rings. Good thing I did, or I'd have to remove the rear sight. All worked out, thankfully.
Nice looking rig you've got there also. Great choice.

Finally finished sighting in the scope, works well. But, I now have a yellow spot on my right shoulder that exactly matched the recoil pad. Imagine that, LOL.

Imagine that! Ah, you'll get used to that rifle. And I bet it's accurate.

I put quite a few rounds thru the beast, so guess it's partly my fault, but it was fun & it is accurate. I knew it was getting sore, but didn't notice the bruising 'til a day or so later. Oh, well, live to fight another day.
