XS Sights, Ghost Ring Dovetail Sight, White Stripe, Fits Henry .45-70 with Round Barrel - HN-0002-5 - 647533018937
Product Description
Navigating dense cover or staging a lever-action rifle for fast, heavy-timber brush shooting requires instant target acquisition and low-light sight clarity. Standard factory buckhorn sights often block the target picture, slow down sight alignment, and become difficult to index under dim forest canopies. The XS Sights Ghost Ring Dovetail Sight Set for Henry .45-70 round barrel rifles solves these optical limitations by pairing a wide rear ghost ring aperture with a high-contrast white stripe front blade.
Precision-machined from solid blued steel, the rear aperture mounts directly to the receiver tapping holes, naturally centering the eye on the front blade without forcing focus away from the target. The included front sight features a bold white stripe running vertically along the blade face, offering a bright, high-visibility aiming point that draws the eye in low-light environments and against dark background brush. Fully adjustable for both windage and elevation, the system allows shooters to fine-tune zero for specific heavy .45-70 Government projectile weights.
Engineered explicitly for Henry .45-70 rifles equipped with round barrels and a front dovetail sight slot, the HN-0002-5 provides a rugged, non-magnified sighting solution built for hard hunting and defense setups. Upgrade your classic lever gun with maximum sighting speed, durable steel construction, and reliable zero retention.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Direct compatibility with Henry .45-70 lever-action rifles featuring round barrels and receiver top scope mount tapping (e.g., Henry H010 round barrel series). Designed for models with a front dovetail sight slot. Not compatible with octagonal barrel models or non-tapped older receivers.
Installation Sequence:
- Clear the firearm, cycle the action, and physically/visually inspect the chamber and tube magazine to verify an empty status.
- Drift out the factory front sight from left to right using a brass punch and gunsmithing hammer.
- Lightly file or fit the dovetail base of the XS White Stripe front blade as necessary, then drift into the front dovetail slot from right to left.
- Mount the rear ghost ring base onto the receiver top factory tapped holes using the included mounting screws, applying a drop of blue threadlocker (Loctite 242).
- Adjust the elevation screw and windage dovetail setting to align the aperture center with the front white stripe before final live-fire zeroing.
