Installation & Overview
Add a modern red dot sight to your Henry H001 rifle without installing a separate Picatinny rail. This EGW red dot mount is designed to attach directly to the 3/8" receiver dovetail found on compatible Henry H001 rifles and provides the mounting footprint used by the Vortex Venom, Vortex Viper, Burris FastFire, Docter, and other compatible open-emitter optics.
Mounting the optic directly to the receiver dovetail creates a clean, compact setup and avoids the additional height, weight, and extra connections created by stacking an optic adapter on top of a separate rail. Keeping the optic lower and closer to the receiver can provide a more natural sight picture and better complement the lightweight handling characteristics of the Henry H001 platform.
Precision machined from 7075 aluminum and finished with a matte black Type III hardcoat anodized coating, this mount provides a durable, lightweight interface between the rifle and optic. The streamlined design is well suited for recreational shooting, small-game hunting, training, and general range use.
A red dot sight provides a single aiming point without requiring the shooter to align a traditional front and rear sight. This can make target acquisition faster and allow the shooter to maintain greater awareness while aiming with both eyes open.
Due to manufacturing tolerances between firearms, minor fitting may be required.

Fitment Notes
This mount is designed specifically for the Henry H001 3/8" receiver dovetail. It does not attach to a Picatinny rail and should not be installed on a Weaver or other rail system.
The mount should clamp securely and remain level without excessive force or visible movement.
Optic screw requirements may vary between manufacturers and models. Verify screw length and thread engagement before applying final torque.
