That’s an awesome scope and if you want something a bit smaller Leupold makes it in 2-7x32 (or 33 maybe).
My eyes seem to like this one, my next Henry I will look into that one.

Could you please share the details on that scope? Mainly length and objective size. I’m about to scope mine and I like the looks of yours but wouldn’t want anything bigger.
Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40mm Riflescope. I don't remember the dimensions off hand for length. Found it on Amazon for just under $300.

Or the Leupold 1.5-4x20 Freedom. Perfect for a lever rifle.

Ditto on the 2-7x33. It is perfect for your 357.

Finally got to hit the range. Work, weather when home and other parts of life held range time off.

Started at 50 yards with Sellier and Bellot .357 Mag 158 gr SP. Shot a group of 3, adjusted, another group of 3, another adjustment and then found center. About a 1-inch group, probably more me than the rifle. Moved to 100 yards and shot a group, pretty close to the 50 yard group.

Proceeded to bust up some melons and wanted to get about 100 rounds thru her. After about 60 rounds started to notice the zero was shifting. The scope loosened up on me. I didn't use any thread lock on the scope base. Took scope off and kept shooting with the iron sites.

Lesson learned, even though I used a torque to set the mounts, the thread lock would have helped. I have the scope remounted, just waiting for the next break to go shoot it again. Then come November she will be in the ground blind waiting for a doe.
