Henry Rifle Forums

Thanks to Andy for the great customer service getting them to me in 3 days.

Going to look real good on my H006MR

Love the brass. Its going to look great on the rifle.

Yes, it will look very sharp on the rifle!

Curious what you will do, Whaler. The Skinner web site pics of the dovetail blanks look like they are wider than the dovetail slot. Will you be filing the blank to even it up at all? My bronze Skinner peep for my Big Boy is barrel-mounted, so I didn't need to get the blank.

Looking forward to the pics of the "Express" mounted on your Henry!

I'd like to add one to my own rifle, Whaler. I'm looking forward to your pics, too.

most certainly looking forward to pictures and range reports

Hope to have time to install it today and sure will post pictures.

I predict not only will you like how it looks on the rifle, you will like how the rifle shoots with them.

Looks good, let us know how you like it.

Did you get a new front sight as well? You'll probably need to go a couple of .1" higher in front.

Didn't order a new front sight I want to shoot the factory front first then order one if needed.

I have my Henry coming tomorrow. Already ordered the Skinner but have some questions about placement etc. Hope you can post your results and review after receiving them.

Went ahead an ordered a set for My New Frontier. I found the website someone confusing for which one to order as far as best placement on the rifle. Went ahead and ordered the one advertised for the Frontier. It appears from the pics that this one is placed a forward of the receiver. It is hard to tell if one placed closer to the eye, is too close. It really is a bit of ambiguity. I believe I also saw a set that you could use with a scope as well. Oh, well, will will see.

Whiskeyshooter, you should be able to mount a scope but you might need to get taller rings.

I have a Skinner dovetail mount on my Frontier and can't put the scope on because the stock rings are about 1/4" too low. I need to get a taller set of rings and then I could mount the scope.

If you scope the rifle take the iron sights off. Scopes mounted as low as possible are usually better for most people.
