Pictures of lever actions with scopes.

The Golden Boy with Nikon scope is very high with minimum height rings.

The Uberti Silverboy has little hammer access and there is no offset hammer available. I can compromise and move the scope back a bit.

The Winchester 9422 with Leupold scope needs an offset scope mount but this one is too high.

Of the three different scopes, the Nikon is by far, the quickest to acquire the target so I may put one on the Winchester.

I agree with others that the H001 models work very well. I used the receiver grooves to mount my scope.

Steve, I would have to move your scope forward about 2" to get in my comfort zone. I had a detached retina and I seem to have a different vision range than others.

I see many pictures of scopes mounted on lever action .22's and wonder if they are actually fired that way.

I'm thinking about getting a Henry H001-T Frontier and thanks to your picture it tells me I'll need a BLK 253 or 254 offset mount

My Octagon Frontier has a BSA 3x7 scope on it! Deadly on rabbits to 75-80 yards!
