A Red dot for my new Henry

Post by **Carver** » Mon Apr 02, 2018 8:03 pm

I just found a riser plate that would allow me to attach my red dot sight. As the 22 cal carbine has a 3/8 in, rail nothing would fit.
Checked with several suppliers and finally
brownells had the critter that I was looking for it called the BKL 3/8 Tri mount part nbr 749-012-541.
For those of us that have old eyes we need all the help we can get.

well understood about the eyes .... we've gone to scopes on almost all of our rifles and an Aimpoint on our Redhawk .... have you decided which red dot you will use

.... I'm looking forward to your range and use reports .... please take a look at our How Many ? thread (link below) and add your Henry to our community total

I just have a Ultra Red dot now that I will use until I update it to something better.

What mount did you use for the Aimpoint?

I've debated getting one of these and modding it to fit my BBB.

H006 series Big Boy mount

I also used the same mount as Tape did -- on my H006 and also on my H012MR. Same Henry mount fit both rifles. Here is a photo of the Truglo Red Dot I had on the steel carbine.

PT, it looks like you have the Picatinny rail, I do wish I had that rail as well. Hows that truglo doing for you?

Tape,

I've changed long guns (actually most residents of my gun cabinet) in the last year or so. I no longer use this sight configuration since I sold the .357 magnum, and now have a 20-ga pump s/g for deer hunting. My son-in-law has the Truglo sight and mounted it on his new 12-ga heavy-barreled s/g. The Truglo is about the best & clearest red dot I've tried. However, I really prefer an iron ghost-ring rear sight, which is what I have on my current pump s/g.

If you really would like to have this Henry Picatinny rail, mine just happens to be for sale at this link in our Henry "classifieds."

Let me know through our Henry PM, if you are interested.

BTW, your avatar is easily noticed. I often think I need to have my bug swatter next to my computer screen!

Have a good weekend....PT7

I was thinking of adding a Picatinny Rail also and ran accross this. https://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.as ... 4&CAT=9854
It looks like it nice and low. You can also use the stock sights when nothing is mounted. Little more money but I think Im going this route so I can mount up whatever I want.

Looks good I like the idea that you can use factory sights as well, the one I bought sits higher.

My eyes have a hard time with the front sight as well, I so picked up the Henry Cantilever Scope mount and cut it down for my Golden Boy.
Works pretty well.

I ordered the Dip Products Picatinny Rail this morning. I will post Pictures after I get it mounted.

Here is the Dip Products Picatinny rail mounted. I had an old red dot that I mounted.

Clovispup and I had a holo red dot on the BBS for a year or two when we first got it. We were happy with it. We decided to try a scope and eventually went with that, but a red dot is an excellent option. Just be sure and keep a couple extra batteries on hand in case you forgot to turn it off last trip. Don't ask me how I now that.

Looks like a similar Picatinny Rail i purchased at amazon. Also open down the middle and low so the stock sights can be used.

Very nice Henry you got there Lyman. I Like the dark wood to metal contrast. Makes the Henry look really sharp.

I just used the cantilever mount from Henry and cut it down. Works for me.
