Thank you for not adding music. That makes your video sooo much easier for those of us that have hearing issues!! You were clear and easy to understand. Well done , I am looking forward to zeroing in my new Henry Golden Boy 22.
I hate it when people put background music in their video playing over the person talking - absolute misery. It might be marginally tolerable if they would control and balance the sound levels, but when they do, if they do, it is most often done wrong. Plus it brings up Copyright issues, which could get the video taken down or demonetized. Really, no point in it at all.
One trick I learned with small adjustments in windage is to draw a small witness mark on the sight and onto the barrel. That way you can tell how much you've moved the sight. That way if you move too much or too little you're not chasing the drift so to speak on your windage adjustment. I use a no 2 pencil. You can just erase the mark or wipe it off when you're done.
I went through twenty videos looking for anyone to demonstrate how to use a punch tool to adjust iron sights. Eventuslly stumbled across your video. THANK YOU!!!
This video is just like the Henry Repeating Arms Company-----Perfect! Thanks so much for not only building a great product but for caring about your customer 100% Cheers, Pete
The only video on the internet that goes over how to adjust these sites. Thankfully now I know how I can get mine to shoot to a zero because it was shooting to the left from the factory. Thank you so much I can get my rifle to be perfect now
I wish Henry would make another video explaining the sight picture of semi-buckhorn sights and how to zero with the bead in the plate groove for your closest range and how to use the stem and base of the front sight with the rear buckhorn in different positions to shoot further distances. I had to do a lot of digging and get advice from a friend to find that out. It would also be a good tip to note the plate in the rear sight can be loosened at its set screw and raised or lowered to make fine adjustments and/or help to raise or lower your point of impact when the ramp is maxed out in either direction. I think that would help a lot of people to understand these types of sights that are standard on Henry's great rifles and getting that info straight from the Henry TH-cam page would be even better.
this comment was more helpful than the video. at about 10-15 yards with the ramp maxed out to close range i still hit about 3 inches high. ive really gotta get the bead in the gutter and hold 6 o clock to even hit a steel plate.
@@russmichael1165Need a taller front sight. My Frontier Octagon has the same problem. 2”-4” high at 25 yards using 6 o’clock hold a rear sight is on lowest setting.
me and my brother bought my dad a golden boy a few years ago for Christmas. he absolutely loves it. we don't shoot it much but when we do it's always a good time.
Just bought one. My first gun my dad gave me was a winchester 30-30 so I have a soft spot for lever actions. The Henry feels super smooth and I can’t wait to get it out to the range
I love your videos! You have a gift in your ability to pass on your knowledge and skills in a concise, easy to understand style. I think my next purchase will be a Henry Frontier .22 octagonal barrel(H001T). Since the magazine holds so many rounds, it's easy to forget to count, so my question is : does it damage the firing pin if you run out of bullets and dry fire? Thanks
Hi Gary, I may have answered this question for you on Facebook a few days ago, but no, you won't damage the firing pin by dry firing every now and then.
I'm enjoying this channel more with every video, thanks. As an owner of two Henry rifles, and hopefully soon, three, I really like watching. Thank to Henry and Plinkster, great combo.
i think its because people dont have patient to learn today ....like according 5min13 to learn, buckhorn signhts rock and they are tough,ruff, and so easy to ''re-zero'' as it show here !
I shot my Big Boy .44 Mag yesterday for the first time. I did not know which part of the buck horn to use. I with somebody would show actual sight pictures. I know it takes time to get used to.
@@kimmer6 I have a Big Boy steel in .357 Magnum. I set the front sight as low as I can still see it in the notch on the rear sight & get center holes that way. If I'm doing it wrong please correct me.
doughesson, it was a crowded rushed day at the range. After getting home and in better light I saw the correct sight picture. Either way, I bought the $110 Skinner peep sight and installed it. Going to the range is 60 miles each way so I didn't get to shoot it with the new sights yet.
Thanks for sharing. I was prepared to try to drift the front sight for the windage adjustment on my Golden Boy, until I saw this. I just bought a Big Boy in .327 Federal. It hasn't shipped yet, but I am curious to see if the rear sight is in the same configuration. I love your beautiful, American made, smooth action rifles. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the information.
Thanks for picking up a Henry rifle Tony! We hope you love it, and hopefully this video serves as a good reference for those sight adjustments. We appreciate your support.
I have 2 Henry Big Boys, one in 45 Colt and one in 357. I replaced both of their sights with Skinner sights. Much much easier for old eyes to see! I Wish they would come out with some models with a side loading gate. I wanted another Henry but I purchased the 44 Mag form another company because it had a side loading gate. I sure can tell the quality difference. I do not know why it bugs me so much but with the tube feed the Henry always makes me think I am shooting a cheap 22. Nice video, thank you.
Thanks for the video. This is exactly what I what I was looking for. I have a classic lever action .22 Henry and am going to sight it in in the morning. Helpful vid. Cheers.
Thank you for the great review. I just got my Henry big boy silver 357 Mag and my elevation is good but my windage is off. Thank you for showing me how to site it in.
Thank you so much. went out shooting today with my Henry .44 mag. I'm not a great shot but I knew something was wrong when all my rounds were hitting about ten inches to the right at 50 yards. love the rifle was scared to take it out of the box it looked so good.
Great video, Plinkster, short and to the point. Do you have to adjust the elevation/notches when shooting longer distances? Plinkster you're right up there with Hickok45, IMHO.
Thanks I was curious as to the proper way to adjust them. I've never been a fan of this sight system. Its pretty much guess work with no real precision adjustments. I suppose though for the design at the time it sufficed. I have a few lever actions and they are mostly spot on from the factory. I've always just done some "Kentucky windage" to correct. I've noticed some newer lever actions are moving to a ghost ring configuration which, in my opinion, is a fantastic move. Thanks again, cheers.
With that setup now all you need a trigger hook up which allows you to press a button to shoot while you sit back on a lawn chair and utilize all those shooting fundamentals that are being used when shooting in a bench rest position with a mounted vice, stock holder, and recoil stopper.
Great video. Just bought my first Golden boy( took 6 months to find one in Canada) I bought it for $600 and I've had the gun store call me and ask if I'd sell it back for $700 1 month later haha.
Excellent content. I was ready to purchase a Skinner Sight or HiViz sight setup, but it looks like it is not needed. Thank you for the excellent demonstration.
got my NEW Henry 44 mag, sight were off 11" high 8" right, and that was with sights all the way down, so i sent back to Henry explaining this to them, the paperwork when i got rifle back from Henry was they replaced the barrel, took back out to range, shoots perfect as far as left/right but still w/ sights all the way down it shoots 7" high, and this is with putting the front bead sight all the way at bottom of buckhorn to where its so low i cant even see it. all-in-all i will be adding an Optic now.
Pretty sad. Should be at least close out of the box. My 22 mag Golden boy sight of impact all over. Rear sight is loose in dove tail. Poor quality control. First n last Henry for me !
Mr. 22 Plinkster, if your 22 lr golden boy rear buckhorn sight is at the bottom of the ramp and still shooting high it would seem the only alternatives would be 1) Replace the front dovetail with a taller sight to brink it down; 2) install the HIVIZ® LITEWAVE® Henry Adjustable Rifle Sight Set HHVS450 for the H004 model golden boy replacing the buckhorn and front sight 3) Consider doing what is needed to install other sights such as Skinner sights including the front sight as needed.....Does this sound about right? Thanks for this and all your videos!
Thanks need to do that. Wonder I guess it would not be a bad idea to ck all screws every now and then to make sure there snug . Just bought the 357 all weather. Also thanks for being on the panel last weekend at the NRA convention. Very cool event for sure
I have a new 44 magnum big boy steel. And I have to say from the comments on this video and my own experience, I don’t think they are sighting these guns at all at the factory. Mine was so far off when I got it straight out of the box that if it was sighted in, It must’ve been zeroed by the elephant man. I honestly think that they are just installing the Buckhorn sights, and test firing it without really considering whether the sights are zeroed or not.
I’ve fought with my .22 Mag Henry. It’s not their fault, just don’t do well with those sights. I put a Marbels peep on my Rossi 92. The Henry is getting a Skinner peep. Your tutorial was good.
I didn’t know it could move! I adjusted the front sight for windage. But my big boy steel in 41 mag shot pretty high at 50 yds and 100 yds. I had to take the adjustment completely out of the back sight to get it to hit dead on at 100 yds. And it wasn’t just me, it shot high for everyone that tried it. Granted it put all shots in just about the same hole, they’d just be high right. Shoots fine now though
I purchased a Henry .44 Mag/44Sp carbine a week ago and at 50 yards I’m a good 6 to 7 inches above my aim point....and that’s with rear buckhorn sight adjusted at it’s lowest point. What now? Obviously the front post needs to be removed and the correct one installed. P.S. I’m not paying the postage to send this back to the factory.
Left n right I just push on the Buck horn left or right. It pivots in the dove tail. Never have I seen this in my 40+ years of shooting. Ps this was my first n last Henry rifle. 22 mag Golden Boy ! Only bought it because I couldn’t find another Winchester 94 22M. Henry has great marketing though !
I like the screw to release some tension before you hit the sight. A lot of guns take a hit from Thor's hammer to move and small adjustments are next to impossible. Now, if my Henry rifle actually worked instead of coming from the factory with faulty parts, that'd be great. $850 for a gun that doesn't work.
I line the round tip of the front post up with the small notch in the bottom, and zero that at 100 yards (with a 30-30). It gives you the most precise sight picture that way, and gives you a little bit of room for holdover.
Great and simple video! thanks. It would be helpful to know from Henry what distance they have sighted in for from the factory. I have 3 Henrys. Golden boy and 2 Bigboys, 44Mag and 45-70
My Big Boy Steel .357 has a few dents in the wood from me not paying attention like you mentioned at the end. Not too bad though, just something to show the grandkids an example of why you need to take your time! LOL
I cant find a place where the site picture for buckhorn is drawn/diagramed in such a way that I can follow. one respondent posted he cant figure his elevation. My guess is he has the same problem I do. Is the ivory dot on the front site in the crotch of the rear buckhorn or is it center with the top of the rear site?
I am 12 I got this gun for Christmas last year and this is my first gun I love this gun I shot a whole 100 pack of CCI 22.long rifle the day I got it I call this rifle a weapon of mass enjoyment. my 15 year old brother got a Mossberg 20.gauge pump shotgun we both shoot it a lot
+Henry Repeating Arms you are you the 22.plinkster? my name is Timmy, and I love your channel your like my hero and from reading this comment section I think your the only one that loves this caliber as much as I do. what you said means a lot thanks:-)
Whew... I thought you were at 50 yards and I thought.. Geez, I thought I was a better shot but I almost never touch holes at 50 yards with buckhorns. Glad you said 50 ft :)
I've been curious about these sights. Hope I can order a gun with these and have some fun with it. My 001 I'm pleased with it but I'll have to splurge on a silver boy.
"You could dent the edge of your rifle..." You don't want to see my Henry .22 I got when I was 9 year old. Still have it, still one of my favorites, still getting squirrels, and looks like hell. I was not kind to it as a kid. ;)

Great point! The "arrow" point at the front of the sight makes it easy to place a pencil mark where the sight was before moving.
I used a finely sharpened white machinist pencil - old eyes. Easily cleans up with a wipe.
Put masking tape on barrel then make mark on tape after done take off wipe residue off with gun oil on clean rag
I went through twenty videos looking for anyone to demonstrate how to use a punch tool to adjust iron sights. Eventuslly stumbled across your video. THANK YOU!!!
My H001 was dead on right out of the box, could not be happier with this rifle, 10 years from now I'm handing it down to my nephew
Just picked my big boy .357 in brass up and it is better than I could have imagined. Beautiful piece!

I would like to see a video on replacing a regular loop on a 44 big boy with a big loop lever.... thank you Henry Rifles are the best.
Thank you so much. went out shooting today with my Henry .44 mag. I'm not a great shot but I knew something was wrong when all my rounds were hitting about ten inches to the right at 50 yards.
love the rifle was scared to take it out of the box it looked so good.
I would really love to see a review or decent video on the lever action 17 HMR, love the videos so far.
Great idea. We'll have to get something in the works for the .17 HMR Varmint Express with those nifty fiber optic sights. Thanks for the suggestion.
Great video. I also thank you for not blasting rock music at any time in the video.
I was wondering how they adjusted the sights. Thanks for the education.
I be getting the HENRY X very very soon.
Peep rocks . Rear aperture is the best way for accuracy . Quick target acquisition and accuracy . Factual !
Great video, Plinkster, short and to the point. Do you have to adjust the elevation/notches when shooting longer distances?
Plinkster you're right up there with Hickok45, IMHO.
great rifle, unreal quality!! just bought the golden boy .22 LR.
Just bought the Golden Boy and I love it..
Thanks for the video, this helps in a big way..
What a fine company you work for! Iove my h010 45/70
Thanks guys...
Just got my big boy brass and this helped loads
Exactly the same problem with my new Henry... so glad I found the vid.
Nice. I’m hitting high right so that will help out greatly. Thank you
Thank you. I ordered a Henry Silver Boy Engraved (hoo4se) & if needed, this will help.
Thanks for the video. Picking up my 357 Big Boy Steel tomorrow and may just need this information when I take it to my range for sighting.
We hope you enjoy the Big Boy Steel! Thanks for choosing to own one of our rifles. We really appreciate it.
Great video. I just purchased a Golden Boy. Your video will be helpful.
Thanks for demonstrating this process.
You really did a very good video! Very well explain I learned a lot! Thanks

Granted it put all shots in just about the same hole, they’d just be high right. Shoots fine now though
Thanks I need to do this, I was very bummed out my sights were way off from the factory
Love my Henry Golden Boy 17HMR... Great workmen ship. Thanks great job.
Nice clean simple video. Thank you
Thank you for this video. I now enjoy shooting with my Golden Boy much more
First.
what the elevation at each notch on the rear sight?
Henry Repeating Arms what's the elevation per notch @ 100 yards on the rear sight aperture?
I purchased a Henry .44 Mag/44Sp carbine a week ago and at 50 yards I’m a good 6 to 7 inches above my aim point....and that’s with rear buckhorn sight adjusted at it’s lowest point. What now? Obviously the front post needs to be removed and the correct one installed.
P.S. I’m not paying the postage to send this back to the factory.
well that depends on ammunition doesn't it
Sometimes you just have to go shooting and figure it out...
Thanks Henry and .22 plinkster! I will check into the sighting kit. Keep up the fine work!
John
Please post a video showing your sight picture with those semi-buckhorn sights. There's very little on the internet about this important concept.
Was literally just wondering about this. Thanks.
Left n right I just push on the Buck horn left or right. It pivots in the dove tail. Never have I seen this in my 40+ years of shooting. Ps this was my first n last Henry rifle. 22 mag Golden Boy ! Only bought it because I couldn’t find another Winchester 94 22M. Henry has great marketing though !
Excellent - I now know what to do and how to go about it - Thanks!
I like the screw to release some tension before you hit the sight. A lot of guns take a hit from Thor's hammer to move and small adjustments are next to impossible.
Now, if my Henry rifle actually worked instead of coming from the factory with faulty parts, that'd be great. $850 for a gun that doesn't work.
Would like to to get a visual on how the site actually looks. Where should the front site drop into the rear buck horn?
I line the round tip of the front post up with the small notch in the bottom, and zero that at 100 yards (with a 30-30). It gives you the most precise sight picture that way, and gives you a little bit of room for holdover.
Great and simple video! thanks. It would be helpful to know from Henry what distance they have sighted in for from the factory. I have 3 Henrys. Golden boy and 2 Bigboys, 44Mag and 45-70
What distance did you work with for your .45-70?
I live in forested Mountains. I am zeroed at 50 yards but have targeted 100 yards just in case I get lucky with some clear ground.
Thanks for the video. Sighting in my new big boy 44
Feel stupid now thanks haha. Was trying to move it at the wrong end. Thanks for the video very helpful.
My Big Boy Steel .357 has a few dents in the wood from me not paying attention like you mentioned at the end. Not too bad though, just something to show the grandkids an example of why you need to take your time! LOL

Yes absolutely!!!!
I am 12 I got this gun for Christmas last year and this is my first gun I love this gun I shot a whole 100 pack of CCI 22.long rifle the day I got it I call this rifle a weapon of mass enjoyment. my 15 year old brother got a Mossberg 20.gauge pump shotgun we both shoot it a lot
"A weapon of mass enjoyment." You're going to go far in life buddy.
+Henry Repeating Arms you are you the 22.plinkster? my name is Timmy, and I love your channel your like my hero and from reading this comment section I think your the only one that loves this caliber as much as I do. what you said means a lot thanks:-)
Excellent 22 Plinkster! Thanks man
Whew... I thought you were at 50 yards and I thought.. Geez, I thought I was a better shot but I almost never touch holes at 50 yards with buckhorns. Glad you said 50 ft :)
I've been curious about these sights. Hope I can order a gun with these and have some fun with it. My 001 I'm pleased with it but I'll have to splurge on a silver boy.
Outstanding job Thank You!!!!!
Excellent video. Thanks!
"You could dent the edge of your rifle..." You don't want to see my Henry .22 I got when I was 9 year old. Still have it, still one of my favorites, still getting squirrels, and looks like hell. I was not kind to it as a kid. ;)
Thank you for your knowledge.
Appreciate the informative videos. Thanks!
i would suggest to put a piece of tape in front of the rear sight and mark the center with a pencil as a reference before moving it left or right
Thanks for a great video. Wondering what your sight picture looks like. My new rifle is way off from what i'm used to seeing.
Wow! so easy thanks for the video ,get information.
Glad I found your page TKS
