Just for an update, I decided not to scope my Henry. Once I got it on I hated it. Too far forward to really see through it, a taller person may have been ok with it. finally put a Skinner peep, lowpro2, on her. love it. minor filing to start the sight on and a little taping to get it to seat where I needed it to go. really nice rifle to shoot, hammer is a little hard to pull back, found raising the mussel to about a 45 degree works to ease the pull. trigger is just about right from stock.

Matt if you get a hammer extender it will help on the cocking of the hammer. You could also change the spring.

I have a hammer extension but took it off along with the scope. the only modifications to the rifle now are the sights. just changed the front to a hi-viz as the eyes aren't even close to what they once were. for me, it is now a fun rifle to shoot.

I had a scope on mine also but took it off. I now have a red dot on it. I like using the red dots. I agree on the fun rifle to shoot I enjoy shooting mine.
