Does then come in a kit where I could but the rail and rings for a Henry 360

Manufacturer Answer

Answered by Vortex, Manufacturer from WI, United States, on February 03, 2025

This does not come with a kit, however, we would recommend an EGW Guns 1-piece picatinny rail, and a pair of our medium-height Pro-Series 1" rings, PN# PR1-M!

Any ring suggestions for fitting on an Ruger 10/22 Competition. Model # 31120. I was thinking 1” Low Vortex Pro series. Any help?

Expert Answer

To mount the Vortex Diamondback Rimfire 2-7x35mm Rifle Scope to a Ruger 10/22 competition low rings should work fine. The 1" diameter low Vortex Pro Series Rifle Scope Rings will work. Those can be found at the link below.

Will this scope be ok for a 22/250 varmint gun

Expert Answer

Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on March 30, 2022

The Vortex Diamondback Rimfire 2-7x35mm Rifle Scope is designed for use on rimfire rifles. It might hold up on a 22-250 but I recommend using another scope to be sure. The Vortex Diamondback scope listed at the link below would be a better option.

What level of lens coating? Coated, Fully, Multi? What is the country of origin?

Expert Answer

Answered by Tom B, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on September 07, 2021

Per the manufacturer: Argon purging puts waterproof and fogproof performance on the agenda, and advanced fully multi-coated optics raise an eyebrow when crystal clear, tack-sharp images appear in the crosshairs.

You would need to confirm country of origin with the manufacturer.

If I wanted to use this scope on a Henry pump 22, what mount and rings will I need? I want to keep the original iron sights in place.

Expert Answer

Answered by Tom B, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on September 07, 2021

You would just need a set of dovetail rings as your rifle should have a dovetail on the top of the receiver. Something like this:
