I have one on my Henry .45-70, but it required a tall front sight (which I them also bought). No issues with it. But I remember hearing, subsequently, there are other options which may be better. Can't recall the specifics though.
Maybe these, from Ranger Point? https://www.rangerpointstore.com/pe...raditional-option-for-cloverleaf-bases-rails/
I installed one on Thumper (my Marlin 1894CB in 45-70). Love it!
