So I bought a Henry Big Boy Steel .45 Colt back in the winter (more on the gun later). I was going to put a Peep sight on it and call it good, but then I ran up on a deal on a Vari X III 1.5-5x20 yesterday and bought it.
Now, that said, the 1.5-5x20 is going on my #1 .45-70, I'm wanting to take my M8 2.5x20 off the #1 and put it on the Henry.
Henry has a Talley made one piece unit on their website, but it says it will handle up to a 50mil obj. scope, which makes me think it'll be too high for my liking. EGW makes a picatinny rail for that model that would allow me to use low rings and give me a bit more latitude with scope placement (the M8 with it's short tube ALMOST doesn't have enough eye relief on the #1, having to be mounted out on the rib, I have to crane my neck a bit). If I went this route, I was just thinking good ol' Weaver detachable lows for rings.
Any opinions?
