This is all dependent on your physical metrics. You want to get a mount or rings that provide an ideal height so that when you bring the rifle up your eyes are naturally in alignment with the optic center. Or as close as can be given the constraints in how low you can go based on the optic bell size. The listing indicates the objective housing to be a diameter to be 44mm. So you may want to try and find a low 30mm set of rings are cantilever mount that allows you to use a 44mm objective housing. With a Henry you have additional drop from the receiver to the barrel so that gives you some extra room. You want to have some space between the bottom of the bell and the top of the barrel. A quick 10 second google recommends a medium height.
