It got one.
I took it to the range and sighted it in. It's on if I do my part.
I think that was 25 yds. It translated out to the same plate size at 100 yds, but not as tight a group standing, unsupported. I was shooting 158 grain JSP .357 magnums.
A little unplanned upgrade this morning. Site is working ok it seems.

Took in an orphan
I don't like to see Henry orphans in gun shops. When I'm out and about, I rarely, if ever see a used Henry. I had just gotten a bunch of .357 revolvers and now, I didn't have a Henry .357 rifle. I found a gun shop I'd never been to. It was a nice place and well run. A Henry .357 steel carbine was used, alone and in need of a new home.

Good save Dave. You will get a kick out of that rifle. I enjoy the heck out of mine.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Re: Took in an orphan
You have a big heart, Dave. Yeah, I've been considering bring home more orphans like that, too.

Well, if you ever need to "move" that orphan to another home, I can make sure there is a room of its own at my house. Nice job on making sure it is comfortable!

Re: Took in an orphan
My home might be a better place, my BBS 357 needs a play mate. Carbine would play well with my 20"...
