Howdy. New Henry owner here. Haven't had a lever action in years ... got the bug ,,, wanted my first Henry. I was holding out for a Big Boy X .44 Mag, but decided to go with a Big Boy Steel (H012R) instead. Picked it up today, and can't wait to get to the range, likely tomorrow.

I am going to looking at optics, likely a red dot, to help my old eyes, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. So far the Bushnell TRS-26 is in my sights (get it? ... "in my sights" ... ha!) OK, what will be the first of innumerable bad jokes.

Welcome from Nebraska. I shoot the BBS 357 carbine. You made a good choice for the starter. I put the Sig Saur Romeo 5 on for a red dot. It works very well.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Yet, another Tom enters the Henry forum! Welcome from Ca. Yeah, aging eyes need help. I put scopes on my two Henry's. The irons just weren't going to work. Weaver(Japan) 1-3x20mm on .357 and Leupold VX 1 2-7x33mm on the .45 Colt. Anyways, welcome from another Tom.

Welcome from southwest lower Michigan. Still waiting for the range to open to enjoy a new to me Winchester 9422M. Hopefully you can get some time on your new Henry. Get some pictures if you can, we like pictures.

Welcome to the Forum. 357 is a great first levergun choice. Im gonna side with CoFisher. Id spend the little extra for that Sig. red dot. I have both the bushnell and the sig and like the sig better. There is also one by Primary arms I own that I like better than the Bushnell.
