Just got a new Henry Big Steel in 41 mag. Looking to put a fixed 4 power scope as my eyes are as old as I am. Any ideas?

Not sure if you are asking for ideas about a fixed 4X scope or ideas about how to mount the scope on your Henry rifle.
Henry sells scope mounts for your rifle:

I do agree with Ol Joe about a low power variable instead of a fixed power scope.
Here is another option: Bushnell Prime 1x4 https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020056153?pid=973916 I bought this to replace the 4X scope on a 30-30
A lot of us hunted for years with fixed 4X scopes and they work well. I like the wider field of view that the 1X or 1.5X gives me for the closer hunting often done with a pistol caliber rifle.
Good luck. Let us know what you decide to do
FWIW, I put a Weaver V3 1-3x on my marlin 44 mag. It is relatively small and light and I killed a deer with it at 79 yards the first time out with it and at about 60 yards the second time. My old eyes can't focus on the iron sights anymore. I have 1-4xs or 1-4.5X on most of my other hunting rifles.
