The XS Sights Ghost Ring Sights for Henry .45-70 with a screw-on front sight (XS Sights part no. HN-0001-5) pair a large-aperture rear with a white stripe front on the rifle whose front sight screws onto a round barrel. This is a sights-only set, so it mounts to the XS Lever Rail for Henry rather than to the receiver directly. Both sights are precision CNC-machined steel and fully adjustable for windage and elevation. The wide ghost ring gives an enhanced field of view for timber hunting and quick shots at game. Installation is a do-it-yourself job.

• The rear sight is a ghost ring aperture that gives an enhanced field of view in field conditions.
• Two apertures ship with the set, .230-inch and .191-inch inside diameter, so you can tune the sight picture to your shooting environment.
• The front sight is a white stripe post with blued steel edges, visible on a target in a wide array of lighting conditions.
• Both sights are fully adjustable for windage and elevation, so you can zero the rifle precisely.
• Construction is precision CNC-machined steel in an all-steel design.
• The surface finish is black oxide, a durable dark coating for field use.
• The rear sight is made to mount on the XS Lever Rail for Henry and cannot be mounted directly to the gun.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these sights mount directly to my Henry? No. The rear sight cannot be mounted directly to the gun, and the ghost ring sights work only with the XS Lever Rail for Henry, which is a separate part.

Which Henry front sight does this set fit? This set is for the Henry .45-70 with a front sight screwed onto a round barrel. A rifle with the front sight dovetailed directly into the barrel needs the dovetail version, and rifles with a banded front sight are not compatible.

Will I need to re-zero after installing it? Plan on it. Moving the rear sight from the barrel to the receiver can cause some zeroing issues, and XS notes that alternate front sight heights are available.
