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.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

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.
