Sights
On my Henry lever .22, I had trouble seeing the bead/blade OEM and went with a peep. Skinner makes great sights, but they are pricey.. Skinner sells a rear sight specifically for the Henry dovetail,. You may need to have a higher front sight as well.
What I ended up doing was installing a Williams dovetail mount peep myself and had Skinner dovetail my front barrel band and install one of their steel front posts.. Skinner folks were great to work with. Fitting the Williams dovetail peep was a real chore, were I to do it again, I would simply buy the Skinner rear as well. I saved about 25.00 bucks, but the fit job was tiring.
Peeps look "right" on a lever carbine and maintain the rugged utility and tradition of the design. A red dot would not be a solution for me and my old school ltastes.. a peep allows me to shoot irons for a bit longer. I'm resisting a scope on my lever carbine for as long as possible!
