First day shooting the H006MR .357 Carbine.

Haha, our flags alway get mixed up, the Aussie flag has an extra star under the Union Jack. Thanks for the other peep sight options. I'll look into them.

Hi, all,

RifleTom sent along these two pics and asked me to post them for the sake of the scope conversation. I believe he told me this is a Weaver 1-3X (by 24, I'm guessing). Nice look/proportion on the Big Boy Brass .357 Henry!

[Rifletom]

Thanks ES', appreciate the assistance as I seem to be photo post challenged. Yes, scope is a Weaver1-3, base is the Talley integral mount/rings from the Henry shop. With my 67 year old eyes, I need the scope. Factory or handloads work very well thru that rifle. Snooping around for another lever gun currently. Another .357, maybe a .44 or .45 Colt? Could I possibly need another 30-30? Hmm. I think a low power variable like ES' or mine really fill the bill on these slick lever guns.

Something Color Case Hardened would be good. A new caliber maybe?

[Rifletom]

I am kinda leaning towards a .45 Colt. BB Steel, 20" barrel. This one would remain scopeless. Hmm.

That is a gorgeous rifle. You have it buffed up nice and shiny.

nice looking combo .... what (if any) impact does adding the scope make in the carbine's balance

I'll add that scoping my BB Brass with a scope didn't mess with balance. Just added a wee bit more weight. But, mine will not be for hunting, strictly a range/desert rifle. My big game hunting days are done. Now, upland birds, well......

while I still have hope that sometime down the line I might be able to get back into the woods hunting for deer, bear, and/or boar, the reality is the odds of being able to do so are pretty small .... now days my shooting punching holes is paper, ringing gongs, and breaking skeet setup at various ranges ....

No Mags, still brand new. I'm sure it will change in time . Will need to find a thread on keeping it shiny and the best products.
