Henry Rifle Forums

I took the Golden Boy out to the range Wednesday 8/31/19 to sight it in. About a year ago I put a a Skinner barrel mounted peep on it. I liked it but with the factory brass bead front sight I didn’t have the clearest sight picture. So recently I bought a Skinner front blade sight. Initially, I purchased a .5” blade but that was too tall. I bought the .45” and that did the trick.
Due to some tall weeds at my range, I only had about an 11 yard distance to sight it in. I shot several 5 round groups. I think I got it about as close as I can. I used Winchester 40gr RN 1300fps.
I look forward to taking it back out and trying it at 25-30 yards to see where it prints.

I'd say you have those sights set up just fine X nine
Good range shootin' for sure.

Thanks!

nicely done, thanks for the report .... looking forward to your ongoing reports

You’re Golden Boy looks Golden to me. I just wish that gun would fit me but the stock drop on it just doesn’t work for me.

I can relate. When shooting any of my Henry’s I usually have the bottom corner of the stock up by my collar bone. It can be a bit awkward at first. I sure wouldn’t want to shoot a 45-70 that way!
