Henry Big Boy 2nd Gen Receiver Scope Mount - Matte Finish

The Henry Big Boy 2nd Generation receiver scope mount in matte finish is purpose-built for hunters and shooters who want to mount optics on their modern Big Boy lever-action rifle. Current production Big Boys are factory drilled and tapped on the receiver's top surface — a design change from earlier generations — and this mount is engineered to take advantage of that receiver configuration. If you're upgrading from iron sights to a scope on a newer Big Boy, this is the mount you need.

Henry designed these mounts specifically to work with the 2nd generation Big Boy's receiver geometry, keeping installation straightforward. The matte finish blends with most modern rifle setups and resists glare. Installation instructions are included, and the process is as simple as the receiver preparation already done at the factory. Note that rings themselves are not included — you'll need to source Weaver-style detachable 1" top mount rings separately to complete your scope setup.

This mount accepts standard Weaver-pattern rings, which opens up a wide range of scope and sight options from aftermarket manufacturers. Whether you're setting up a hunting rifle for whitetail, elk, or varmint work, or running precision at the range, matching this mount with the right optic and rings gives you a solid foundation for accurate shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 1st generation Big Boy rifle?

No. The 1st generation Big Boy rifles are drilled and tapped in a different location (under the rear sight). You'll need to verify your serial number using Henry's generation reference table to confirm which version you own, then select the appropriate mount for your rifle.

What scope rings do I need for this mount?

This mount accepts standard Weaver-style 1" detachable rings. The rings are not included with the mount, so you'll need to purchase them separately to complete your optics setup.

Is installation complicated?

Installation is straightforward. Your 2nd generation Big Boy comes from Henry already drilled and tapped on the top of the receiver. The mount and installation instructions are provided — you simply secure the mount to the receiver and attach your rings.

Can I use this on other Henry rifles?

This mount is specifically designed for the 2nd generation Big Boy receiver configuration. Other Henry models (Golden Boy, H004 series, H005 Mini Bolt, and H001 lever-action rifles) have different drilling patterns or use different mounting systems and require their own mounts.
