For those long in the tooth, hear me out. I’ve been pretty dumpy for many years about my difficulty using iron sights with these old eyes, and trying to punch paper or varmints has left me feeling old and crotchety; I frown a lot in these scenarios. I stumbled into peep sights while looking at a Henry to buy and found myself lighter in step, mouth corners turning up, and more squint to the eyelids as I clearly could see and focus on both sights and target. If you find yourself getting grumpy trying to shoot buckhorn style sights, step to the sunny side of the street and find your grin again with peep or aperture sights! Reno
I saw "Got Peeps" & was expecting marshmallow targets! Love that you gave us the actual measurements of the sight heights, including before & after, and compared to the originals.
While looking for obscure rear 22lr sight, I had an extremely informative and pleasant half hour conversation with a gent at Skinner, top notch service. Nice shootin, all those groups 👌
I’ve never spoke to anyone at Skinner but I’ll vouch for their products just from my experiences with them. Good to know that if I ever need to reach out that they’ll actually talk to people. Thanks for the comment!
I have Skinner peep sights on my Henry(s). Extremely pleased with the product value and quality. I, too, have had the pleasure of speaking with the Skinner team. Top notch folks!
I like the new sights, but I really enjoyed seeing that dandy rifle close up. I didn’t get as good a look at it as I wanted in your first video. I like peep sights better now that I am older, but when I was younger I actually shot the buckhorn style sights better for some reason. I think I was fighting the alignment of the front sight in the opening, and not letting it naturally align itself. I am thinking that I will have to get me a Henry like yours. Thanks, Buffalo. It’s always fun watching your videos. You’re a natural like Hickok45.
Great info on the Skinner sights. I am closing in on 60 and would prefer to switch to Skinner. Thanks for including the beautiful Mrs B and sending out another great video.
My Henry H001TLP came factory equipped with Skinner peep sights and I love them. Also have peep sights on my Rossi 357 and Winchester 94 30-30...You put out great informative videos, keep up the good work and Thank You...
Wonderful in depth information regarding installation of the Skinner sights. Especially appreciate the precise dimensions you offered. Wonderful presentation, beautiful range, excellent groups shot by your wife! Thanks so much. I’m hooked on your channel.
Kind Sir, with all due respect, I highly recommend that you develop NO bad habits that may upset your excellent shooting bride whatsoever! Always enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing.
When Mrs B wants to shoot don't stand in her way... Thank you for another brilliant video. I'm in England, I've never shot anything, I learn more from one of your videos than an hours worth on some other channels.
LOVE Skinner sights. I use them on all of my hunting rifles from .22 to 45-70. Well engineered, American made and lots of options for peep sizes for all conditions. I use the ghost ring for hunting on my 45-70. I've found that most Henry front sights work with the Skinner sight with no modifications. Skinner has an APP for trimming the front sight. Thanks for sharing.
Heh Brother..... better not make Lisa mad at you! 😉😁 that was some great shooting, a great rifle and obviously the sights are perfect. Thank you for sharing your lovely bride with us. I love seeing couples and families sharing the shooting sports. When I was still living in western Colorado my daughter's families and I would go out to the desert frequently and do some shooting. We taught my grandkids how to handle firearms safely and marksmanship. Anytime I visit we head out there. Fun times and great memories. Plus I have adult Grandchildren who continue the sport. God bless all here.
@@buffalosoutdoors I would be interested to know if you have a preference between the lever and this pump in overall capability/performance. Enjoying your videos.
Good report…have several of the Skinner sights in different configuration, I have the tactical on my 45-70 Guide Gun, and express on the 24” octagon Marlin 45-70 and regular brass on a Henry .22….all work great. I tend to not use the aperture and just use them as a ghost ring…with exception on the 24” barrel when I need long shots….Made right here in Montana…another big plus! Again, thanks for another fine video!
I have both a Henry lever in 22 and another in 22 mag, both have Skinner peeps. I also have skinner peep on a Savage model 219 30-30 single shot. Actually every rifle I own that doesn’t have a scope has a peep on it . I found they work well when the eyes get old. Thank you for a good video about sights
I was in the last series of platoons (four platoons make up a series, or did back then) on Paris Island USMC Recruit Depot, that carried the M14 throughout our boot camp training. I learned to shoot long distance with that M14 equipped with peep sights. To this day i prefer a peep site setup over a buckhorn sight, simply because i shoot better using the peep sights. Good to see i can get a set of peeps for the Henry pump 22!
Almost all my lever guns sport skinner sights. The buckhorn were ok when younger, but older eyes pick up through the peep extremely fast, perfect for lever guns.
I'm with ya Buffalo on skinnier sights. I love shooting those and like you said so easy to pick up your target. Miss Lisa is a good shooter and you sure must be proud of her. The I can do better is awesome! Thank y'all
Thumbs up for switching to peep sights. My Marlin 1894 .44 mag. has a Williams full adjustable peep sight. Better than the semi buckhorn sights that came on the rifle. Works well with the Marlin front brass sight.
I hope we will see Lisa on the range more often. I just bought Skinner sights for my old .22, but I doubt I'll get the same results the two of you are used to. Gonna need more practice, I will.
Great video review! Thank you for going through the trouble of giving the sight measurements that you used. I have been very pleased with Skinner sights on my Henry rifles. FYI they do have available tall aperture stems to provide extra flexibility in the field. I also opted for a dovetail sight blank with aperture storage. This allows added sight options depending on your lighting situation.
The first thing I did was to replace the factory sights on mine. I put on a Williams rear peep sight and a Lyman globe front sight. It mad a huge difference.
I love the skinner.. one thing (for my eyes) I have done with even my black powder Hawken is to add a hood to the front sight. I shoot outdoor 99.9% of the time. the sun will make it hard to see the front sight in many cases. Pro tip... the old Remington 700 hood can be made to fit almost any front sight you will need to file grooves in the front sight or use something like a dremel but when you are done you have a protected and shaded front sight. Might make a good vid!
I was able to switch my receiver cover from my h001 to the h003t. It slready had the skinner sights on the receiver. Works perfect with stock front sight height. I have the hi viz fiber optics coming in. That brass bead is tuff for my old eyes. My pump is smoothing out. I sure wish they would make a lighter round barrel like the h001. Did you realize that if you chamber a round and slighly move pump back a just the smallest amount it locks the pump and disengages the trigger. Effectively making the gun safe. You have to cock the trigger and it will fire and work as usual. I really like hiw you dont have to break your shooting grip to chamber a round. Still would like it to weigh the sane as the h003t. Very nice gun.
I believe that Skinner Sights knows who you are, NOW! I never heard of them nor of this rifle until I watched this video. Curios how this rifle would compare to a Ruger 10/22, but don’t let Lisa shoot them as she might shoot them too well and we won’t see a difference. 🤪 Great content as always as you do a fantastic job with these videos.
I really want one of those pump action Henry’s. I always wanted a golden boy 22 long rifle lever gun with the octagonal barrel, but I never really got a chance to buy one. I have the h001 as well, and this would just be a natural progression to my collection. I love all gallery guns.
Well I like them, And I know you love them. Looks like you lucked out! Cuz they are "Lisa Approved"! I don't think that's a bad price for a Quality set of sites. Thanks for sharing! 😎👍
Nicely done! Another fine video. My compliments to your charming bride. That young lady can really shoot! And I presume that she's pleased with the sights on her rifle? A side note. Marbles, the maker of the stock sights on Henry's, builds a rear dovetail sight called The Bullseye. It is a peep within a circle. The center peep is atop a post. Imagine the old sights on an antiaircraft gun and you get the picture. Prior to the cataract surgery in both eyes, I used the Bullseye sight on my M92 357 rifle with my one semi good eye. But I've returned to the stock sights once my eyes were fixed. The Marbles Bullseye sight would make a budget priced peep style for folks who can't afford to pay for a Skinner set.
Good stuff thanks for sharing. I am picking a Henry Small Game Rifle in .22lr this week and it comes with skinner peep from the factory, so I’ll be sticking with the lever guns I guess
Shooting groups, for me, I start out a little rough, but get the hang of it after a few, and then after a while of shooting good groups, they open up again. Maybe the eyes just get tired. Anyway, she did a great job.
Another well presented and informative video. I like pump action rifles for sure. The Mrs sure can shoot, I'll bet your mighty respectful around her. Thanks for your videos.
I just put a barrel mount skinner sight on my Henry octagonal barrel 22lr pump. I put the one the goes in the dovetail. I Love the way I can shoot it with that skinner.
I have the same gun and the lever Frontier model with threaded barrel. The sights on both to my 78 year old eyes are like looking for a grain of salt in a pound of sugar. I change them both to fiber optics. From what I can see from the Mrs. accuracy, I don't think you want to make her mad. JimE
I feel that Henry is our premier vintage gun manufacturer now. I wish they'd expand into some different models. Double barrel and over-under shotguns. More than anything I'd love to see them produce a control round feed bolt action in classic long action calibers like 30/06, 270, 25/06 etc. Henry is the last great wood and steel gun maker and I want to see them grow.
@@deathbyastonishment7930 What? No, they're not. All their center-fire rifles with the exception of the Long-Ranger (aluminum) and the brass framed rifles have receivers made from steel. Their rimfire rifles also have steel receivers, but they do sport alloy (ZAMAK) receiver covers. They simply cover the moving parts on the steel receivers of the rimfire rifles. I know. I own one. Take the ZAMAK cover plates off and you'll see that it's a "shell" covering the steel receiver.
Is there any reason they can’t make more lever action shotguns (like 12 gauge)? I don’t know much about them but the main lever action shotgun offerings in Australia don’t seem very good.
@@FerventReminderit's not that they can't it's just the lack of demand doesn't warrant all the development and tooling to make such a specific model. Sure some people want it but it wouldn't be a big seller
DIopter/peep sights are optical sights since they enhance sharpness of sight picture. Long time ago before people had glasses, a small hole could be used to sharpen up your vision for precise tasks. But this only works if the peep is as close to the eye as possible, which also gives a longer sight radius.
No, it ALWAYS works. It blocks light in your field of view, sharpening the image of everything else in your field of view. Like a hat on a sunny day. Exact same principle.
@@bobjohnson1633 The closer the diopter is to the eye, the less stray light will hit your eye, and the image will be sharper. Same principle as a pinhole camera.
I'm going to be picking up the 22 mag version one of these days... Wonder why Henry didn't make the receiver drilled and tapped on these? Would prefer the closer eye relief.
Of dozens of rifles I own, exactly 2 have a scope. Most of them have peep sights of one type or another. Skinner makes a great sight. FWIW, my wife has a scope on all her rifles. 🤦🏼♂️ Question...how is it working out mounting it so far forward? Do you need a larger aperture with it mounted forward like that? All of my peep sights are mounted at the rear of the receiver or on the tang.
I can’t tell much difference looking through them. I guess one could use a larger aperture if they felt the need but I run a .125” on both the receiver mount H001 and this barrel mount and I can’t tell a meaningful difference.
Do you ever miss? I got hooked on peep sights with my first deer rifle. A Model 1917 Eddystone 30-06. I got my first deer at 365 yards with it at age 13. There is nothing like a good peep sight.
I've heard and read that peeps sights don't work properly unless they are very close to to your eye. But these seem to be working fine for you and my marbles bullseye peep sight mounts in the dove tail and works great too. I really enjoy shooting the 22s, but I'm not as good as you two!
A peep sight limits the amount of light that reaches your eye, so the light you see is mostly what is coming through the peep. The closer your eye is and the smaller the peep, the more light is ONLY from exactly where you are aiming. This allows you to see very small objects at long distances. If you haven't seen the movie Quigley Down Under, this is what allows him to shoot a bucket at HUNDREDS of yards with iron sights.
If the threads are to loose on your peep sight you could rap the treads with Teflon tape one or two wraps that will stiffen the turns a little bit,. I really like those sights, nice looking ,. Major improvement in your fire acquisition rate 👍
I'd say your wife shoots ok. Ah who am I kidding, that was some excellent shooting. Well done. 👍 Thanks for the update with the sights installed. They look nice on there. Stay safe down there, and take it easy man. 😎

I think something like a peep tang sight would be awesome on this rifle. Crazy long sight radius and gives it that old western pop.

Buffalo I know you and your wife enjoy time shooting together. Great to see you and her being happy together. 👍👍🙏🙏
For looks and snag resistance, I would round off the front of the front sight.
Impressive rifle, impressive sights, impressive shooting by Lisa. That makes this video a Win, Win, Win!
Awesome! Thanks for the comment we appreciate it!
I would rather watch this channel over anything on the idiot box or otherwise known as the TV. Makes me want to break out the H001.
Another high quality shooting video. Thanks, you have a calm nature and a relaxed demeanour that makes me want to be your friend.
Those are great sights and Lisa did a fantastic job!
Again Lisa shot well. I have not shot a peep sight much. I wish you would have mentioned sight alignment and sight pictures on the target
Almost all my lever guns sport skinner sights. The buckhorn were ok when younger, but older eyes pick up through the peep extremely fast, perfect for lever guns.
just my opinion but peep sights should be closer to the eye
You can mount the rear peep sight closer to your eye but you will have to drill and tap the receiver
Peep sights in my experience are much more accurate than buckhorns. Thank you Buffalo for the video.
Great video man , awesome lil rifle
Enjoy your videos you guys make a great team.
Good looking and performing sights. I have never used the skinner sight. Thanks for the video and information.
You two are a perfect match....both fantastic shooters
That’s a really nice looking set of sights, and I agree with the way you filed down the front sight, sounds like you did a perfect job
Thank man. We are happy with how they turned out!

Henry rifles and skinner sights works great good video
I really want one of those pump action Henry’s. I always wanted a golden boy 22 long rifle lever gun with the octagonal barrel, but I never really got a chance to buy one. I have the h001 as well, and this would just be a natural progression to my collection. I love all gallery guns.
Those sights look really nice on there. Nice job.
Love Skinner. Have them on 2 Marlin 39A’s. Thanks

Of dozens of rifles I own, exactly 2 have a scope. Most of them have peep sights of one type or another. Skinner makes a great sight.

wind moves a 22 a lot in 25 yards. All the groups were great with that wind. The last was excellent.

such a badass rifle!
Do you ever miss?
I got hooked on peep sights with my first deer rifle. A Model 1917 Eddystone 30-06. I got my first deer at 365 yards with it at age 13. There is nothing like a good peep sight.
Thanks! I do miss I promise! Lol. I agree with you on peeps!
I've heard and read that peeps sights don't work properly unless they are very close to to your eye. But these seem to be working fine for you and my marbles bullseye peep sight mounts in the dove tail and works great too. I really enjoy shooting the 22s, but I'm not as good as you two!
A peep sight limits the amount of light that reaches your eye, so the light you see is mostly what is coming through the peep.
The closer your eye is and the smaller the peep, the more light is ONLY from exactly where you are aiming. This allows you to see very small objects at long distances. If you haven't seen the movie Quigley Down Under, this is what allows him to shoot a bucket at HUNDREDS of yards with iron sights.
Crap now she’s just showing off god bless ya both it’s fun to watch you shoot missy
Cool . . . thanks for the information.
Great gun great shooting.
Sweet set up.
If the threads are to loose on your peep sight you could rap the treads with Teflon tape one or two wraps that will stiffen the turns a little bit,. I really like those sights, nice looking ,. Major improvement in your fire acquisition rate 👍
I'd say your wife shoots ok. Ah who am I kidding, that was some excellent shooting. Well done. 👍
Thanks for the update with the sights installed. They look nice on there.
Stay safe down there, and take it easy man. 😎
Thanks man! We are having a blast with this little rifle. It’s not just my wife but my grown kids love this thing too! Hope all is well way up yonder!
