XS Sights Ghost Ring Sight Set for Henry 45-70 Rifle - Dovetail Front Sight, Steel Black

The XS Sights Ghost Ring Sight Set for Henry .45-70 rifles brings practical accuracy and field-proven reliability to lever-action hunting. This all-steel sight system pairs a ghost ring rear sight with a white stripe front post, engineered for fast target acquisition and dependable performance in real hunting conditions. If you're running a Henry .45-70 with a round barrel and want to upgrade from the factory sights, this setup delivers the kind of rugged visibility and adjustability that works when it matters.

The rear ghost ring design opens your field of view for quicker sight picture at closer ranges—a real advantage in brush country or when game moves fast. The large aperture lets in plenty of light for either dawn or dusk hunting without sacrificing precision. Two interchangeable apertures (0.230" and 0.191" inside diameter) let you tailor the sight to different lighting conditions and personal preference. Up front, the white stripe on a black post cuts through shadows and backlighting, giving you contrast regardless of what's behind your target.

XS Sights precision-machines these sights in Fort Worth, Texas, so you're getting American-made steel with a matte black finish that doesn't reflect or broadcast your position. Windage and elevation adjustments are fully user-accessible, and the front sight dovetails directly into the barrel for solid zero retention. Note that this set requires dovetail mounting on the barrel itself and won't fit Henry rifles with a screwed-on front sight ramp. Also important: these sights work with the XS Lever Rail HN-6000R-N receiver mount for the rear sight—verify your setup before ordering. If zeroing proves finicky after installation, XS backs the work with their No Questions Asked Warranty and can supply alternate front sight heights.

Whether you're sighting in for a hunting trip or fine-tuning for the range, this is a sight system built for the .45-70's real-world role: powerful, straightforward, and reliable in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these sights fit my Henry .45-70?

Yes, if your rifle has a round barrel with the front sight dovetailed directly into it. These sights do NOT fit Henry .45-70 models with a front sight ramp screwed onto the barrel. Also note that the rear sight mounts via the XS Lever Rail HN-6000R-N receiver mount, so confirm you have or plan to install that rail.

What's the difference between the two apertures?

The set comes with two interchangeable rear apertures: one with a 0.230" inside diameter and one with 0.191" inside diameter. The larger aperture lets in more light for low-light hunting, while the smaller aperture tightens your sight picture and can improve precision in bright conditions. You can swap them to match the lighting where you hunt.

What front sight comes with this set?

The front sight is the XS White Stripe (WS) design: a blued steel post with a painted white stripe face. It replaces your factory front blade and provides high visibility against any background. If you need a different front sight height due to zeroing issues after installation, XS offers alternate heights under their No Questions Asked Warranty.

Is this a complete sight system?

This is a sight set that includes a rear ghost ring and front white stripe post. The rear sight mounts to your Henry via the XS Lever Rail HN-6000R-N (sold separately), which attaches to the receiver. The front sight dovetails into the barrel. Confirm your rifle's barrel configuration before ordering to ensure compatibility.
