HENRY SINGLE SHOT 360 BuckHammer

Well, it looks like scoping the Henry isn't going to be in the future unless I want to spend a lot more money. With the Weaver base and medium rings, the hammer will contact the eyepiece. The little scope on it has a very small eyepiece so it would be worse with another. I could get a different base and/or high rings which might provide enough clearance, but I'm thinking I want to just keep sights on it. I have a Marble's folding leaf with a green Hi Viz front, and it works quite well out to 60 yards or so. The Henry is a delightfully simple little rifle in an excellent short range cartridge. I'll just let it be as is!

Back on the subject of the Henry single shot: I found one of the better (made in Korea) Simmons 2.5x20 scopes to put on it, since the FX-II goes for above retail even when used. Biggest problem is all the scope mounts I've found for NEF/Henry require you to remove the rear sight. Anybody know of a mount that is short enough to allow the rear sight to remain? I guess I could just cut the used Weaver base I have and create another slot for the scope ring, but I would rather get one that is made the way I want first.

You might check Ranger Point Precision.

Edit: They only have rails for the levers.

Thanks. I think I'll just leave it as is, not like I don't already have a variety of scoped rifles to choose from!
