Scope on a Long Ranger?
Re: Scope on a Long Ranger?

40mm. With the scope I'm using the Vortex Optics Pro Series Riflescope Rings (0.75" height) mounted with the skinner mounts that came with the Long Ranger.
This is the math I used to figure out how low I could go. http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.p ... ng#p111155

Re: Scope on a Long Ranger?
the taper of the barrel allows you to fit a few more mm worth of objective

Re: Scope on a Long Ranger?
I added a similar rail to my LR but I reversed it, with the "floating" part of the rail over the hammer so I could move the aft ring back a little more. I needed to bring the scope back for good eye relief. Maybe I need a different scope, not sure. I'm at work right now so I don't have the scope specs handy.LeverGunFan wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2019 9:16 pmMy Long Ranger is wearing a Leupold 6x36 on an EGW mount with EGW Practical rings. I'd like it to be a little lower, but it's worked well so far. After installing the base and scope, it shot about 1-1/2 inches high and on center at 50 yards without touching any of the scope adjustments - never had that happen before!

This is my setup. It looks a little odd being cantilevered out, but it's got comfortable eye-relief. It's a Diamondback
4-12X40. Maybe I just need new eyeballs!

Re: Scope on a Long Ranger?
That is unusual... However, as long as it works for you that's all that matters. I can relate to changing vision with age, it seems every time I pull a gun out of the safe I need to adjust the focus on the scope.

Re: Scope on a Long Ranger?
I have a scope mounted on my BBS in .45 Colt and is very accurate with full power loads. Cowboy loads shoot a tiny bit low at 50 yards.

I put a Sig Whiskey-3, 4x12x50 on my .308 and love it. I used the mounts that came with the rifle. See my post on Range Reports.
