Tough to beat this for a lever action IMHO. 6.5oz and simple 2.5x.

I'm using a holosun 403B on mine. No issues so far, works great.

The great handiness of leverguns is easily screwed up with conventional optics, IMHO. Forward mount (aka, scout) optics allow the guns to be grasped at the balance point and don't clutter the awesome top loading potential (Winchester). Here are my Winchester 94s with scout optics. If I had to choose one type it would be the microdot for my woods hunting, but that would be a tough choice over the Burris 2.75x scout scope. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Well I think I’m going with the Leupold. I bought a Holosun 507, but my stigmatism must have gotten worse, cause I I see is a huge red blob.

Was great for squirrel too. I think I had it on a H&R topper in 22lr. Would be perfect on my Little Badger |

Kind of in the same boat ... can’t decide whether to do a scope or red dot. (For a rifle that is on back order)
As posted above, FX-II Ultralight 2.5x20mm is on the list for a possible scope or a Aimpoint Micro H1 for red dot. Considering the ballistic range of 357, I’m leaning toward red dot. Get both? |

Personally I hunt, and with the .357 being capable of taking deer comfortably out to 150yds, the 2.5x leupold would be best. Now if all I was shooting was steel at a range then a red dot would be OK, but if that’s all I was doing then a set of skinner peeps would be my go to over a red dot. YMMV. |

It will be for target fun. If the oem sights get over an Obsidian 45, I’ll skip any sort of optic. |

Quoted: I’m wanting a optic for my Henry X in 357. I’m looking at the Leupold VX-R scout in 1.5-4x or some sort of dot sight. Any suggestions? I don’t mean to highjack your thread, but what is the part number for the optic rail or is it included? |

They make another one, but it’s a weaver rail with only 2 cross slots. It did not come with the rifle, I picked mine up on eBay for 25 free ship. |

Agreed A magnified optic is better in low light as well. The 1-3 weaver is nice too |
