Scope for Henry Lever Action .22

Check out the Weaver rimfire.

You can add a hammer extension if the scope is in the way.

Iron sight is the way to go on theHenry rifle.

I agree with upgrade - i think a 3-9x is not an ideal magnification range for a 22. 2-7x or even a 1-4x might be more ideal. Plus at those lower power ranges you will have really generous eye relief.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. If you’re hunting varmints with it, you’d want to have quick target acquisition at close range. A 1-4x or 2-7x will give you that better than a 3-9x.

You can get the look under peep scope rings that allows you to use both the scope and iron sights.

I have a Henry Lever action .22 and I would like to mount a scope on it to squirrel hunt and let my kids shoot targets. Any suggestions? Red dot vs modern?

I'd install a 2-7X or possibly a 1-4X scope. Make it a rimfire scope as they're usually a little smaller. If not, you could sue a "compact" model scope, but may get parallax problems w/ it if it's not designed to be used at rimfire distances. I wouldn't get either a non-magnified red dot nor a scope w/ a red dot reticle. IIRC, some Henry 22's mount directly to the top of the receiver whereas others use an ungainly cantilever mount that attaches to the barrel, just in front of the receiver. Keep us updated. Glad to hear you're introducing your kids to the shooting sports.
