What about a red dot Chuck

Don't know about a red dot. I had one on my AR 15 and didn't really like it. My eyes need magnification. I think a more traditional scope is best as it would look better on a western style gun than a red dot. Thanks for the suggestion though.

well understood .... for the ranges I customarily fire a handgun, a red dot is fine .... we have one on our Redhawk that does an outstanding job .... for longer ranges that I customarily enjoy shooting with a rifle, I need the magnification provided by a variable power scope

I finally got time to shoot my BBS in .45 Colt today. I shot some of the ammo provided by my local range and some "cowboy" loads I had bought for my ASM SAA. The range loads were very hot and shot well in the BBS, Groups were right at 3-4" at 25 yards with the iron sights (I could barely see the front sight). Scoped, this thing is gonna shoot outgtanding groups. BTW, I liked the gun so much that I ordered a BBS Carbine in .357 after I was done shooting for the day! The carbine will complement my new EMF-Pietta SAA in the same caliber. Love these Henrys!!

Thanks for the range report. Yup! That new carbine will be right at home with your SAA! I have my BBB .357 paired with a Taylors/Uberti SmokeWagon SAA. I usually take them to the range together. Shoot one, then the other. Repeat. Lots of shooting fun!

sounds good .... what brand and size scope are you considering .... looking forward to following your range reports and use impressions as you get better acquainted with your 45

Thanks guys!! Because of the holiday, I should get the gun this Friday and then it's the usual Crapifornia 10 day wait. I saw a nice Weaver 3x9 scope at Turners this weekend. $199.00 is the sale price. May just go for that.

well, it Friday ... do you have your new Henry or do you now have another 10 days to wait ..

The rifle arrived at the FFL on Friday afternoon. I am out of town until Monday. I will DROS it on Tuesday and it will be a 10 day wait from there. Now, I am going hog hunting next month. Which one to use, my BBS in .45 colt or the new one in .357 mag? I have SAA clones in each caliber so a side arm is covered.

Why not shoot one with each Chuck. I know there aint no shortage of hogs in Texas

Post by **Chucksolo1** » Mon Dec 09, 2019 12:12 pm

Actually, you've got something there Al! I'm gonna be hunting in Northern California and we have a bunch up there too!!

Ive been thinking about the carbine in 45 to go with the Ruger Blackhawk my wife is giving me for Christmas. I’d love to hear people like theirs.

Post by **BigAl52** » Sat Dec 21, 2019 10:06 am

They handle great. I have the brass version. If they would have all been that way for longer than they have I would of had all carbines and none of the longer barrel rifles like I do. Welcome to the forum glad you joined us.

Finally got the rifle in my hands. I love it and will shoot it tomorrow along with my EMF-Pietta Deluxe Californian SAA in .357 Magnum. Can't wait. I emailed Anthony Imperato and told him my thoughts on the rifle. He thanked me for owning several Henry rifles and wished me a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
