Overview

XS Sights builds the ghost-ring answer for the Henry .45-70. The large ghost-ring rear opening lets the eye snap to a white-stripe front sight fast, which is exactly what a .45-70 lever gun wants for close-cover hog and bear work where speed beats fine precision.

The rear ghost ring is the catch shooters need to understand: it cannot be direct-mounted to the rifle. It zeroes only on the XS lever rail, which is sold separately and must be purchased to use this set. That rail gives you a full-length Picatinny top for a scout scope or red dot, so the pair gives you a backup iron and an optic platform once both are installed. The set ships with both a .230-inch and a .191-inch aperture to tune the rear opening for daylight speed or low-light precision.

Construction is all steel, fully adjustable for windage and elevation, and the kit includes the front sight, rear sight, both apertures, the screw kit, and red threadlocker. This is the screw-on front HN-0001-5 variant; XS also sells a dovetail-front HN-0002-5 for round-barrel guns that lack the front screw bosses.

Key Features

  • Large ghost-ring rear aperture for fast target acquisition
  • White-stripe front sight visible across lighting conditions
  • Mounts on the separately sold XS lever rail, also a Picatinny optic base
  • Ships with .230-inch and .191-inch apertures
  • All-steel, fully windage and elevation adjustable
  • Includes screw kit and red threadlocker

Pros

  • +Ghost ring is dramatically faster than the factory buckhorn up close
  • +Two apertures tune speed versus precision
  • +Pairs with the separately sold XS lever rail for a scout scope and red-dot base
  • +All-steel construction holds zero under heavy recoil

Cons

  • Rear sight will not zero without the separately sold XS lever rail
  • Built for the .45-70 round-barrel rifle, not pistol-caliber Big Boys
  • White stripe is not tritium; no true low-light illumination
