The XS Sights Henry Ghost Ring Sight Set turns your .44 Magnum Henry Big Boy into a faster-pointing, more instinctive lever gun. This is the dovetail version, made for rifles that use a front sight seated in the barrel dovetail rather than a screw-on or banded front. The whole kit is precision CNC-machined from steel and finished in black, so it holds up to years of field use, recoil, and the general abuse that comes with a working lever gun. It's cut in Fort Worth, Texas, and built to the standard XS is known for.
The idea behind a ghost ring is simple. Your eye naturally centers the front post inside that big rear aperture, so you're not fussing with fine notch alignment. The result is a wide field of view and quick target acquisition, which is exactly what you want on a brush gun or when a whitetail steps out with no time to spare. The rear sight is fully adjustable for both windage and elevation, so getting it dialed to your load is straightforward.
The set ships with two rear apertures, a larger .230-inch inside diameter and a tighter .191-inch, letting you match your sight picture to the light and the shot. The bigger ring is great for fast, close work and low light, while the smaller one tightens things up for more precise aiming. Up front, the white stripe front sight is highly visible against dark game and shaded backgrounds, and it pops in early morning, dusk, and deep timber where a plain black blade disappears.
This dovetail set is intended for Henry Big Boy carbines chambered in .44 Magnum with the front sight dovetailed into the barrel. If your rifle wears a screw-on front sight or a banded front, this is not the right set for you, so check your barrel before ordering. Because it's a precise fit, some owners find the front sight needs light fitting during install, and many folks prefer to have a gunsmith handle the setup for a clean, repeatable zero.
This is the dovetail version, so it's made for Henry Big Boy carbines in .44 Magnum that have the front sight dovetailed directly into the barrel. If your rifle uses a screw-on front sight or a banded front sight, this set won't work and you'll want a different configuration. Take a quick look at how your factory front sight attaches before ordering.
The set comes with a .230-inch and a .191-inch inside diameter aperture so you can tune your sight picture to the situation. The larger ring gives you a wider view and faster pickup in low light or on close, fast shots, while the smaller ring tightens things up for more precise aiming. You can swap between them depending on your light and the kind of shooting you're doing.
Installation is a do-it-yourself job for many owners, with the rear adjustable for windage and elevation once it's on. That said, the front sight fits into the barrel dovetail and can need a little fitting to seat properly, so some folks prefer to have a gunsmith handle it. If you're not comfortable fitting a dovetail sight, a trained gunsmith will get you a clean, repeatable zero.
Ghost ring sights let your eye naturally center the front post in the large rear ring, which speeds up target acquisition and opens up your field of view compared to a traditional notch. The white stripe front sight also stands out in tough light like early morning, dusk, or heavy timber where a plain black blade fades. For a working lever gun, that adds up to faster, more confident shots.
