Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
New scope for the Henry H010 45/70
New scope for the Henry H010 45/70
Finally pulled the trigger, on a Leupold VX Freedom 2 X 7 X 33mm scope today, paired up With Warne Maxima base, Warne
Maxima horizontal rings, from Midway. I was going to order from Mid South Shooters, but they didn't have that ring, would have been
a bit cheaper.
Honestly, I really hated to scope this Henry, but the old eyes & trifocals, just don't get along well with open sights. So, you do what
you gotta do.

All my non competition rifles have scopes. I try to focus on the front sight and center the blur. I have a 2x7 on my 30-30 and like it a lot. Let us know how it works out on 45-70.

Grunt and 4450, I recently put a Leuplod VX 1 2-7x33mm shotgun scope on my BB steel .45 Colt. It works well with the Henry's.
You'll get along nicely with it. They're pretty trim for a 2-7 scope and clear as a bell. Think you guys will like it.

Thank guys. I didn't want or need a bigger scope in power or
physical size. I think this will be fine for my needs
Cover where I hunt is thick.
Scope should be here in maybe a week or so, depending on
how far behind Midway is .
