The condition of your eyesight will help with that decision.

Got my BBS .45 Colt yesterday. What a beauty. The wood is gorgeous and so is the checkering. I had no idea it would be as heavy as it is. I can only imagine what the brass BB feels like. I love the gun. Will shoot it this weekend. Thanks Henry for such a great rifle.

Congrats! The brass version adds 1.68 lbs and the brass carbine 0.76 lbs on top of the 7 lb BBS.
Where you at with your scope decision?

I think I will scope it. This weekend, I will go to Turner's Outdoorsman and check out optics. Any sub $300.00 scope suggestions from you all?

I have the 45 Colt Henry CCH model. The Nikon P3 2-7x32 shotgun scope is a good fit for it. If you get it with the BDC reticle, you can extend the effective accuracy by using the Nikon app with your load data to calculate the holdover distances. That scope sells for about $150.

I have the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24. $289.99. I really like it. Love the reticle it has.
