Henry single shot, scope Mount options. Need help
Hello. So I picked up a Henry single shot in brass 45-70 has to have the most beautiful wood iv ever seen with just a silky feel to it. But the rifle isn't the problem, it says takes a Weaver 82 mount, ( same as a H&R handi) so I went to Cabela's and got a 82 mount, rings and a scope got home and found out that I'd have to drift out the rear sight to install. I don't want to remove rear sight. So what are my options for a base that won't require me removeing rear sight. There has to be options right?
If some one can toss out the make and model of a base that would be great. My eyes arnt what they used to be sadly but would like to have the iron sights as back up.
Also in case any one was wondering. I called Henry they said can shoot any 45-70 load in it that is rated for Marlin actions. Just no ruger loads. Saw a few postings on Google were ppl were saying trap door loads only. (hate false info)
Any ways thank you for any help.
