I followed Clovishounds lead. Bought the Weaver 63B. I used a small round file on the forward mounting hole. It works great. Good luck.

I also placed a Skinner Lo Pro in the rear mount hole.

Is the Weaver rail low enough to use your iron sights when no optics are mounted?

Just saw Cofisher's post and it looks like it is, I have a barrel mount Skinner peep.

Henry's does offer a picatinny base for their .30/30 or Henry .45-70 rifles. But a bit more expensive than the online alternatives.
