Scoping the Golden Boy

[lprechaun]

I got a new Golden Boy .22 from Santa and I have been thinking about scoping it because the old eyesite isn't what it use to be. I bought the mount and along with the brass forearm ring from Henry and found a gunsmith in lower delaware who has done a few already (drill and tap into the barrel). I almost hate to do it because the rifle is a site for sore eyes and when I lay the gun on the floor with the 3x9 on top it just takes away from the western look. Has anyone gone through with this?

They make a site mount that mounts using the front site screw holes and doesn't require any drilling into the rifle itself. Can be found here.

It even has the blue finish like my golden boy barrel has.

Wow that dude hasn't done it in the ALLMOST 10 YEARS from when he posted this and last posted, I don't think neco-threading this will help.

Someone else might see this new to the forum just as I am and catch the link to the cantilever mount so it's possible it could still help someone.

Agreed. I see no problem with resurrecting an old thread if the info provided is pertinent and useful.

I'm more of an iron sights kinda guy when it comes to lever guns, but if I were to put a scope on one of my Henry's I'd probably install a Primary Arms 6X .22lr ACSS scope.
