Got my rail mounted, cheap lpvo on. Taking it up north to some crown land ranges next month to put it through its paces for real. Very happy with this thing. Naming it Lorraine.

I don't think I have ever seen a scope mount set up like that. Was the eye relief to long for a comfortable sight picture with a traditional arrangement?

Should see my RS22M setup, I have to mount a cantilever sight "backwards" to get the LPVO close enough to my eye haha

Yes correct. I will be purchasing a proper optic at some point, I just had this cheap Amazon scope laying around and figured id try it out. It's actually still too far back, seems like a very long eye relief optic.

Normal eye relief is around 3.5" so I wonder if that scope was designed for use in Scout rifle configuration. Anyway, nice gun and congratulations! What distance were you testing at to get those tight groups?

It's very possible! I do love scout rifles. Only 25 yards. If I took more time I'm sure I could have put all 5 rounds thru the same hole. More interested in how the groups look over 200m. Will post an update next week

I love Henry rifles, so I hope this one meets all your expectations. Looking forward to hearing how it shoots.
