Sweet. I want one of their .357/.38 models, probably more trad looking

 

I used the pic rail from the Henry website. It’s thicker than I expected and the optic sits higher than I wanted, so I got a buttstock cuff with a mild cheek riser, and it all works fine. The fiber optic sights are pretty nice, like you said.

Nice! Where did you get the buttstock cuff/riser?

 

Very nice

Sweet...I love the tube feed

 

Have one in 44.
Every rail/dot combo was too high for me so I went back to the iron sights.

"LIVINGUPNORTH", who makes that butt cuff pad?

 

Not my cup of tea but if people like them who am I to say.. Im positive its a nice shooting gun.

I love levers I just stick to "traditional" though thats all.

 

see the new Tomstone AR, lever ?

How quiet is the 357/38 w/can ?

 

 

Very nice looking rifles fellas! Wow

 

Thx,
yes nice on the ears

That’s a good looking rig.
Is the light pipe on the front fiber optic interchangeable? Can you install orange or red light pipes?
What is the overall length of your gun with the can?

XS Sights makes a rail that appears flatter than the Henry optic mount. Maybe it would work for you. It does appear that the rear sight of the Henry would have to be removed. I believe the iron sights could be changed to the XS sights with the rail in case of optic failure. I have their rail and sight set up on my Marlin 336.
I took a couple of photos for you to show what theXS system looks like. The dimensions of the rear part of the rail are shown on a rounded receiver top rail that’s why there’s a gap at the start of the scale.

Rear peep. This is the large ghost ring. They come with a smaller aperture too.

I really like the white stripe front sight. Black and white contrast really help in low light or when aiming into tree cover.

The top of the picatinny rail is around 1/4”. I think my photo is a lit

The only problem I have with this rail is if you don’t want to use a Scout Scope it takes away you rear sight option, but their front sight is meant to be used with their peep sight in the rear. If you just wanted to buy their rail it removes the iron sight option
In addition to my Marlin I also have their iron sights on my Winchester 94 30-30. I really like their sights.
If I buy a Henry X model I might use the XS sight system on it as well.
Also, I just noticed they have a 25% off site wide sale going on.

Yes the front fiber can be replaced.

I think I want a more compact dot like a Holosun 507K. Took the dot off for now and will shoot it this weekend using the stock sights. I'll be bringing a handful of suppressors to figure out which one to dedicate to the Henry.

 

Looks like fun

Congrats

Thank you. Good to know.

I understand. Let us know what you decide on.

I have been considering an X model in .45 Colt, but I am not ruling out a .38/.357. But it will be a while before I can afford another gun.

I have the X in 45 Colt. Great little carbine!

 

Wow,Very nice looking rifles.

 

Nice rifles gentlemen! I need to add a lever action or two to my collection. A traditional 1873 and a modern Henry Model X would be a neat pair.

 

I just handled and checked the Henry Big Boy X in .45 Colt. Man, is that action smooth. Very balanced gun. The shop has it listed at $940. I thought it was $925.
I have found my next long gun purchase. That is one sweet carbine. 😎

 

The Model X next to my Frontier SR.

Nice! They both look great. I like that Frontier. Normally I don’t like long barreled rifles but I like the looks of that one. Is it an accurate shooter?
What’s on the muzzle of each gun?

 

Thanks! The Frontier is boringly accurate and sports a compensator/thread protector😁. Very quiet with a suppressor. The X has a 3 lug muzzle device that makes taking a suppressor on/off simple and quick.

Thank you. After I asked I thought that the lugged attachment on the X carbine might be for a suppressor.

 

Installed a Hoptic USA red dot mount with rear peep sight. Dot is a Holosun 507K. I just prefer a more compact/slimmer package.

If anyone is interested in the Farrow Tech mount send me a PM😁

 

Are you getting a good sight picture over the supressor?

 

Welcome

Thread is a year and a half old.

 

Does this optic look over your suppressor well?

 

Yes it does. I currently have a YHM R9 dedicated to the rifle which is a fairly thick can.
