Description
The XS Sights Henry Ghost Ring Sight Set is built to help your Henry Big Boy carbine in .357 Magnum point faster and shoot flatter without the squint you get from a tiny factory notch. That big rear ghost ring aperture paired with a bold white stripe front post lets your eye snap to the target quickly, which is exactly what you want when a whitetail steps out at dusk or you're running the lever on steel. The whole set is precision machined steel, so it holds zero and shrugs off the bumps and knocks that come with hard hunting.
What Makes the Henry Ghost Ring Set Work
The rear ghost ring is fully adjustable for windage and elevation, and it ships with two apertures, a .230-inch and a .191-inch inside diameter. The larger ring gives you a wide field of view and lightning-quick acquisition in low light, while the smaller one tightens things up for more precise shots in good light. The white stripe front sight replaces your existing blade and ramp with a blued steel body and a painted white face, giving you strong contrast against dark game, brush, or paper targets no matter the lighting.
Fitment for the .357 Big Boy
This is the version for the Henry Big Boy .357 Magnum with a round barrel and a screw-on front sight. It will not fit models where the front blade is dovetailed directly into the barrel, so check your muzzle before ordering. One important note on the rear sight: the ghost ring is designed to run exclusively with the XS Lever Rail for Henry and cannot be direct mounted to the receiver. If you don't already have that rail on your gun, you'll want to grab one so the set will zero properly.
Install and Real-World Use
Installation is a straightforward DIY job that starts with removing the factory rear sight. XS ships the kit with a screw set and red threadlocker, and their guidance is to torque the screws to spec so nothing works loose or gets over-tightened. Once it's on, you've got a tough, glare-free iron sight setup that turns a classic lever gun into a genuinely fast-handling brush and woods rifle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Henry Ghost Ring Sight Set fit my rifle?
This HN-0003-5 version is made for Henry Big Boy carbines in .357 Magnum that have a round barrel and a screw-on front sight. It will not fit models where the front sight blade is dovetailed directly into the barrel, so take a look at your muzzle before buying. If your Henry has the dovetailed front, XS offers a separate .357 dovetail version instead.
Do I need the XS Lever Rail to use these ghost ring sights?
Yes. The rear ghost ring is designed to mount only on the XS Lever Rail for Henry and cannot be attached directly to the receiver. The set will not zero without that rail, so if you don't have one on your gun yet, plan to add it to your order.
Why does the set come with two different apertures?
The kit includes both a .230-inch and a .191-inch inside diameter aperture so you can tune the sight to your conditions. The larger ring gives you a wider field of view and faster acquisition in dim light, while the smaller one sharpens things up for more precise shots in good light. Swapping between them takes just a minute.
Is the Henry Ghost Ring Sight Set easy to install at home?
It is a manageable DIY project for most owners. Installation starts with removing the factory rear sight, and the kit comes with the screws, red threadlocker, and instructions you need to get it done. Follow the torque guidance so you don't over-tighten or leave anything loose.
