red dot sights
I would like a red dot scope for my henry youth model,but I notice most of these come with the weaver mounts so they would not fit the henry 3/8 rimfire mount.

Re: red dot sights
You will probably have to get a 3/8" to rail adapter.
Pretty common but someone who has done this may have a more experienced approach.

Re: red dot sights
About ten years, back, there used to be red dots with a built in 3/8" base for 22s, but haven't seen any of these in a long time. As above, if you want to use any of the popular red dots with a built-in weaver base, you can use an adapter. I'm not a big fan of adding another link into the mount system, but it does work. Lastly, there are still some 1" tube style red dots out there like the excellent Ultradot 25, which allow you to use a set of standard rimfire rings. Ultradots are not cheap, but they are top quality. Here's one mounted with rimfire rings on a CZ 22 LR.

I put one of these on a Henry pump. Works great I think it would work on that youth model.

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.......

Re: red dot sights
I also have a DIP rail adapter. Very simple and works great.

Re: red dot sights
These are cheap and they work great for red dots. Keeps it low profile too.

Re: red dot sights
I have a couple Romeo5 red dots that could be moved to my Henry SGRifle and H001L carbine if I can't get my 73 years old eyes to cooperate using the Skinner Peep and the Iron Sights. I picked up a small bottle of " Glow in the dark paint" at a local craft store and will paint the bead on the SGR and the front sight blade on the carbine. I picked up the carbine yesterday and it being shorter seems to be OK. The Range I shoot at has low lighting and hopefully the paint or a Hiviz front sight will be adequate. The SGR having a longer barrel is another issue. My eyes don't seem to focus on the brass bead as well as the rental SG carbine did. I'll try the "Glow in the dark" paint or my wife's red nail polish. Also, the bead covers most of the target's center at 50 yards. If all fails I'll mount the red dot on one or both but it will be a shame not to be able to use the Skinner sight on the SGR. Any thoughts?

Re: red dot sights
The Sig Romeo has a small, 2 moa dot. It is excellent for your plinking. I am debating using it for hunting.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
