    I have the Henry in 38/357 - they are beautifully built. Lots of folks put red dots or scopes on their rifle. But, you shot very well with the semi-buckhorn. Your gun looks very sharp with the large loop lever change. Good luck with it!

    Based on my understanding they only have a few models in 357/38 with the Octagon barrel.

    Brass or Silver Receiver - No side gate
    I have the Big Boy with brass receiver and octagon barrel. Yeah, no side gate, but I'm still very happy with the firearm. These things are super accurate out of the box.
    Plus, just the fact you can run 357 and 38 out of it makes it that much better.

    I recently got the color case hardened 357 mag carbine big boy with the side loading gate. I put a Leupold vx3-hd 2.5-8x36 on mine and I think it's just about perfect for it. I did not have to remove my rear sight, I just lowered it down as far as it would go and it has just enough clearance for that 36mm objective. I used that one piece Talley mount that Henry shows on their website for the big boys. I think a Leupold is the perfect match for the Henry for two reasons. First and foremost they're made in America just like your Henry. Second I think that classic gold Leupold ring matches up nicely with the brass magazine tube on the Henry. And of course Leupold is quality stuff. I enjoy shooting my Henry so much that I already have a second one on the way. It's their Magnum Express rifle in 22 mag. That one is getting the 3-9x40 leupold vx freedom rimfire scope. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine!🤠

    I might suggest adding a Williams 5D or FP receiver sight. The one's that mount to the side of the receiver, looks better than the ones that mount on top of the receiver. The added length of sight radius along with more precise alignment greatly increases accuracy without adding the bulk of a scope which decreases the handiness of a lever action.

    Awesome shooting at 100 yards. Love it. Recently picked up the Henry Big Boy X 44 mag. Oh boy there's a handful of fun. Would like to post a heads up . When removing the bolt from the receiver take care . The extractor is pinned to the left inside of the receiver and will fall out when the bolt is removed. If you look at the left side of the receiver will will see the level pin pushing through. Just wanted to give the heads up. It's not really that hard to back into place.

    As for the scope. I put the FireField Impulse 1x28mm Red Dot w/Red Laser-Circle dot. I know y'all are going to say that's not so great an Idea but I stand buy this optic. I have two others one is on my KS7 12 gauge and the other is on my Henry Brass Side Gate 45-70 Govt. The site picture is perfect for 100+/- yard shots and the laser is dead on. It's very easy to zero the laser once you have the optic set just adjust the laser to its point of strike. Firefield says that this optic is good to .50 cal. My Henry 45-70, Henry BB X 44 mag, and Kel Tec Bullpup chambering three inch rounds 12 gauge says true. Just saying what I know and like!

    With 44's i prefer fixed 2x20mm or 1-4×20mm.
    It's non-long-range although capable but most likely a short distance thumper. A quick optic with longer eye relief for snap shots in woods hunting is practical and less cumbersome looking...
