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?
