Oksrt,
You might want to look at this Henry thread for some info, "A Red dot for my new Henry," http://henryrifleforums.com/search.php? ... ow+profile

Almost $25 cheaper without the peep sight.

Thanks dave77. I thought they had one for the bbs. May have to give them a call.

If you call them, let us know what they say. I'm thinking it may need some modification to fit a big boy as they are listed as available for a Henry 30-30, 45/70, .410 Rail. Henrys order page for their BB picatinny rails says "These bases will not fit Henry .30/30 or Henry .45-70 rifles as they are not Big Boy Series(pistol caliber: .44mag,.45Colt,.357mag,.41mag,.327Fed Mag) guns. For .30/30 or .45-70, you can purchase a Weaver 63 base online, or from a well stocked gun shop. We also offer a couple of options in this same web store for convenience"

I have one of the Henry BB picatinny mounts so I figured I could use it as a template to drill new mounting holes, also I would have to shorten it a little to fit my BBB, you shouldn't have to to fit your BBS.

Also, just looked at some photos of a Weaver 63b mount and unless you really need a Picatinny base, that would be a cheaper one to experiment on, don't know if the holes would line up on a BB.

They did have one for the BBS. I have one that I purchased about 8-10 months ago.
Give them a shout.

HAppy SHootin!

Just heard back from RPP, they have discontinued the lower mount for the BBS. May have to get one machined.

I put a Weaver rail on my BBS .357 a couple years ago. I think it was a Weaver. It was listed in their look up data as fitting the Henry. The rear two holes matched up perfectly. The front hole was just a little off. A little judicial work with a chamfer tool elongated the front hole enough to allow mounting. It has been rock solid with both a red dot and a Vortex 3-9 40.

I followed Clovishounds lead. Bought the Weaver 63B. I used a small round file on the forward mounting hole. It works great. Good luck.

I also placed a Skinner Lo Pro in the rear mount hole.

Is the Weaver rail low enough to use your iron sights when no optics are mounted?

Just saw Cofisher's post and it looks like it is, I have a barrel mount Skinner peep.

Henry's does offer a picatinny base for their .30/30 or Henry .45-70 rifles. But a bit more expensive than the online alternatives.
