Closer to blush than salmon...

Looks good Evan. And I really like the pink towel in the photo studio

It's not pink it's salmon.

Good call. Must be the lighting!

I'd say there are a few of us with WAY too much time on our hands!

Hilarious.

Talk about a thread taking a left turn!

We look forward to your "bench reports" and pics of whatever you find.

Can a "Cleaning Rag" thread be far off?

A blush pink cleaning rag is a must for the BBS .357. It's now part of the 'new outlook' in accessorizing.

I saw pink in those pics! Faded ones on the counter and one photo bomb from a drawer.

Looks good.

That is a sweet set-up. I ordered the hammer extension also.

Geez, talk about peer pressure! I will have to go buy something. Maybe something frilly.

No frills required. And don't make a special trip on our account...

not too frilly. but I bet you could use a pink shop towel?

Heck, doesn't everybody?

Looks great. Well done. Running the same on my BBS & BBS carbine both 357's except I had a couple of the leupold Mark AR Mod 1's laying around that I threw on. Very similar optic though.

[ESquared]

Seems like the thread that launched the HRF range towel movement will never die!

Nice trip down memory lane and thanks, KrzHorse, for your kind words!

Thank you for the thread and pictures. I just picked up my Henry BBS H012R and was looking for a scope setup because of my old eyes.

First off...welcome to the forum!
I am 65 and suffer the same problem. I too have a BBS357 and ended up putting a Weaver 1-3x20 scope on it.
It's all I need for the distances I will use it for.

It's always interesting to see the shelf life of some of these old threads. Glad to see it's still of benefit to new(er) owners.

The 357 seems to be one of the first (or 2nd) calibers that new Henry owners gravitate towards, and with good reason. It's such a fun, versatile load, reload and shoot (hunting or plinking).

Let's see the pics of where you end up, Atrox!

[Rifletom]

Evan, those Weaver Classic V 1-3x20mm are it! The one's we have on our .357Henry's are getting harder to find. If '88 looks for one, make sure it has "Japan" stamped on it. Those have very good glass.
Speaking of pink towels, mine is still tucked away in my wife's China cabinet. Thief!

[LeverLuvr]

Good to see it all finally come together. The black and black look good together and along side the dark wood.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, "finally," huh? Nice little set-up, and aesthetics matter, don't they (even though the deer don't care!)?

This reminded me of a funny as hell scene in the movie "My Cousin Vinny". I was going to post a link but the scene drops the "F" word a couple of times and being new here, I'm not sure if it would violate the forum rules. If you want to watch it just google - My cousin vinny deer hunting scene-

[markiver54]

Yes, a great movie LL! Very funny.
BTW, congrats on not posting the link.
