I purchased a Marble Bullseye sight from Brownell's and got it installed and mostly adjusted.

Installation: Very straight forward, a simple 3/8 dovetail installed with a brass drift in about 15 minutes. A side note, if you have an early model with a serial number of less than 250000 or a H001 made in Brooklyn the dovetail is not a true 3/8 and some filing with a once sided triangle file will be needed.

Finish: Very high quality bluing, deep and nearly black but matches the Henry perfectly. The construction is very substantial and feels solid and robust when mounted on the rifle.

Use: It comes with no instructions but what I have learned is that it is actually two sights in one. The larger circle can be used as a ghost ring while shooting both eyes open by simply sighting the front sight on the target. It gives a very easy to acquire sight picture with encircled by a visible but not intrusive ring.

The center, smaller ring that is atop a small post protruding from the bottom is used like a rear aperture peep sight with a slightly larger FOV around the front sight.

They are very quick on target and makes pointing to steel nearly instinctive. Transitions are seamless from target to target, by the time you work the lever and get swung over you are nearly lined up for the shot. When shooting steel targets that is plenty close to hit.

At the cost of $17.99, it is an excellent value in my opinion

Click reply (to your thread) then in the "Add Tags" section above the Smilies click the "Tube" button, put the youtube link in between the commands.
