[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1112894, member: 41338"] The 44 Henry is a beautiful rifle. If this scope is just for that rifle, I'd get a 1" since you probably won't need the range of adjustment and there is a weight savings which will help maintain the excellent handling characteristics of a lever action. The mount for a Henry isn't exactly built like a tank so a lighter scope might do well in that regard also. If he likes Leopold's, that's what I'd get him. A basic 3x9 with a regular plex reticle will fill all his needs from target to hunting. Something like this.
