We had issues. There is someone taking care of things. The site may be up and down for a bit.

New peep incoming.
I ordered a RPP cloverleaf should be here by the weekend. Unfortunate for me is it will be next Friday until I can squeak to the range with it. I went brass with green fiber optic. Think it will look just fine on my H010BWL. I hope it’s an improvement over the semi buckhorn. Any advice on the install?

Re: New peep incoming.
Congratulations! You should enjoy it. I enjoy the one that I installed on my H009. Check the site, but you will probably have to remove the semi-buckhorn (it blocks the sight picture). If you do remove the semi-buckhorn, a blank would be nice. I got one from MidwayUSA for about $6.

I ordered a dovetail blank from skinner. I didn’t think I’d like the way RPP’s would look with the octagonal barrel. I liked the way the skinner looked with the octagonal. I didn’t see any images of midways. Skinners wasn’t far and above what midways was. I think shipping, the blank and a vial of cold blue ran me $20 to my door.
Both companies impressed me with their shipping turnaround. Both shipped within 18 hours of order receipt.
I went with RPP’s hoping I could stick with the OEM front sight (I like it) and it seems easier to fine tune adjustments (may or may not be correct... time will tell) although I would confidently buy from skinner as well.

Re: New peep incoming.
It is easy to fine tune (works like adjusting a scope). And, I did not want to replace my front sight either. Yet, I wanted to shoot fairly accurate out to 100 yards. Overall, I am pleased.
A link to my fine tuning. I think that I may be able to shoot a tighter group with a different brand of ammo.

Not sure why the one pic is upside down but you can still see the aperture. Lol

Re: New peep incoming.
Had it out yesterday. First 3 shots at 25 yds we’re touching. I threw a bunch of different ammo down range so there were shots all over the paper (I’ll post pics when I have a few min). Settled on Remington core lock 405 grain simply because I was a lemon to find 4 boxes of the same ammo. I was looking for enough ammo to sight in, shoot a bit, and have a Half box or box left for my Maine trip in September. I actually like the ways the Remingtons felt, I may have to find a clone reloading data for them.
Back to the sight. I was a bit concerned I was going to run out of up elevation but it all worked out with a few threads left to go. I can hold the pin just under at 25 and cover at 50 and I am in the bull. That’s the farthest out I’ll need to be right now the September trip is a baited bear hunt. The outfitter I talked to said “sight in for 30 yards and be able to shoot up to 50, our bait sites are thick”
In the future I may replace the front or I may buy a different Henry for longer shooting. I can tell the wife I NEED another gun. She supports my gun habit rather well.
