Scoped my Henry!

I would love any Swarovski scope, but a bit out of my price range.

[Rifletom]

I'd get that Leupold Compact and call it a day. You'll never regret having that one.

Got offered a Leupold Vari-X III 1.75-6x32 with heavy duplex at a lower price so I bought it, had some weaver extended rings laying around so I used them, will buy some other rings later on.

That should be a perfect scope for your 44 AW. Great choice. Even tho the 3-9 was a compact (which I don’t believe are made any longer) this scope in my opinion will look better on your 44. 6x is certainly enough magnification for 44 mag.

It looks great, I love it. Just mounted a freshlymade ammoholder I ordered a few weeks ago. I should get new rings but well it works even though its extension versions of the weaver rings. Hope it works, I used blue loctite on the railscrews.

A photo made it look old

I always use lowpower scopes when hunting, but it was hard to get a nice small scope ive been searching a couple of months and then this landed in front of me.

[Rifletom]

That really looks good ruhler. That ought to work just fine. I have a Leupold VX-1 2-7x33mm shotgun scope on my Henry .45 Colt and it appears to be like yours. Sure like mine. I believe mine is discontinued tho.

[BigAl52]

Looks great but Ive always like the looks of the AW. I wish they made one in a Carbine model I would buy one of those.

Tried to zero the Scope today at 100meters and ran out of adjustment in elevation, Impact a foot low with elevation maxed out.. Not sure how to adress this issue this scope has very little adjustment compared to other scopes. Maybe I will switch scope with my other Rifle it has a Leupold VXR 2-7x33 that scope has 4times more elevation adjustment. So I need new rings for 30mm, perhaps leupold qrw2 low would work.

It does look great. What did they charge for the ammo holder? I’ve been looking for a similar one here, but everyone that makes them is saying 6 months or more to get one!

800SEK its around 96dollar, 2weeks delivery. Ordered a matching gunsling aswell some days Ago.

[Redthies]

That was my next question... Kroner or Euro;) I wonder if they would ship international?

Bummer. Have you tried the rings you wanted to put on it?

EDIT:
I only tried those old weaver topmount, I found medium QRW2 rings, they are the same height as I already Have with these weaver rings giving clearance to have the buckhorn ready when taking off the scope aiming down the rail Hits bullseye at 25m. If everything works out I get them by mail tomorrow. Really hope it solve the adjustmentissue, but I wanted Leupold QRW rings anyway.

[ruhler]

Got my Leupold qrw2 rings today, had to settle with medium height that was in stock. I wanted low rings, if this doesnt work I have abandon this scope and use something else with better adjustmentrange. Will know in the morning, really want this to work.

[Vaquero]

That is a nice looking setup, hope it works out for ya.

Well a Day att the range, new rings improved but Still shooting 4inches low att 100meters with Scope att highest setting so I am giving Up on this Scope. My homecast NOE 265gr rnfp was best. 240gr fiocchi and hornady xtp went event lower. Its only 28moa adjustment in this scope so im returning it and Will Search for another Scope. I have a VXR 2-7x33 but thats a 30mm tube then I need new rings aswell.... Not sure what to do, anyway it was a beautiful Day at the range, now I need to reload some rounds aswell.

How about a shim in the front ring. Some people cut up an aluminum beverage can, and make a shim out of that.
