Great-looking .410 --- congrats. I especially like the beautiful patterns and colors in your wood stock. First one I've seen other than on the Henry web site.

Curious as to what you think of the buckhorn sights on a shotgun? How do you like them? Sounds like they worked well for you out-of-the-box. Thanks especially for the great photo. Enjoy.

While at the range today, I also shot some Brenneke slugs. Not .410 ammo; rather 20-ga, 3/4 oz. K.O. Slugs http://www.brennekeusa.com/hunting-ammunition/kotm/. I think you have a good slug choice for your new Henry .410.

At 25 yards, this Foster-type 20-ga K.O. is rated at 1334 FPS, and that's where I sighted in my shotgun. This ammo is quite highly rated in a number of reports I've read, and I do like the way it shoots. I think it will be quite accurate at the 40-60 yard distances; 75 yards would be a good stretch for me. Thanks also for your ammo comments.

Interesting sight equipment....thanks for the links.

I also have elder eyes. But I just modified the sights on my 20-gauge, and now have a Skinner rear ghost ring and front bead. Worked with Skinner sights to mount these on a shotgun rail. Did you catch my post on these mods? http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2398 It was a cool project and I had great support from the Skinner company. An extra for me with this mod is that the added height of the barrel rail provided me with a better cheek weld. I've not had that consistent positioning ever before.

Sure do like the ghost ring and bead combo.....makes target acquisition really easy for me.

This is the easiest solution if you don't wanna pay money. Stock front sight, these bad boyz, and done!

Most useful sub 20-bucks you can spend.

PT, nice shotgun. It is about making what works best and there is no doubt the ghost make quick work of sighting.

The way you worked that rail is genius!

This could be a lot of fun.

I don't know how expensive .410 is to shoot; never had one.
