Henry Rifle Forums

Finally pulled the trigger, on a Leupold VX Freedom 2 X 7 X 33mm scope today, paired up With Warne Maxima base, Warne
Maxima horizontal rings, from Midway. I was going to order from Mid South Shooters, but they didn't have that ring, would have been
a bit cheaper.
Honestly, I really hated to scope this Henry, but the old eyes & trifocals, just don't get along well with open sights. So, you do what
you gotta do.

Your preaching to the choir here about eye sight, was thinking about the same scope, let us know how it works for you.

All my non competition rifles have scopes. I try to focus on the front sight and center the blur. I have a 2x7 on my 30-30 and like it a lot. Let us know how it works out on 45-70.

looking forward to your post scope install reports .... I do believe the combo will serve you well

Grunt and 4450, I recently put a Leuplod VX 1 2-7x33mm shotgun scope on my BB steel .45 Colt. It works well with the Henry's.
You'll get along nicely with it. They're pretty trim for a 2-7 scope and clear as a bell. Think you guys will like it.

Thank guys. I didn't want or need a bigger scope in power or
physical size. I think this will be fine for my needs
Cover where I hunt is thick.
Scope should be here in maybe a week or so, depending on
how far behind Midway is .
I have all the patience of a wounded Cape buffalo,

Scope finally arrived today. Got it installed, can't sight in today due to weather. Did bore sight it, so maybe that''ll help some.
Leupold Freedom VX 2x7x33mm. Warne Maxima base, Warne Maxima horizontal rings.

Grunt, perfect! You're gonna like that set-up. You'll really appreciate the accuracy of your Henry. Glad you you got that scope, as it will really help. Let us know.

nice looking combo .... looking forward to your continued reports as you better acquainted with it

Thanks, guys, appreciate it. Obviously, I'm anxious to get it sighted in & see what she can do.
