    I have a Henry .357 Steel that's just a whole lot of fun to shoot. It has the factory supplied standard semi buckhorn sights.

    I can keep 23 of 25 shots in a 3 inch circle at 50 yards, with many and most of the shots stacked much tighter when I'm able to keep the buckhorn sight picture consistent. Where my groups vary and group size increases, its consistently with varying elevation. My eyes (for one thing) aren't what they were. I've no doubt that this rifle can shoot better than I'm shooting it. I have no desire to scope it.

    Have any of you guys traded your factory buckhorn sights for Skinners? How much difference (if any) in group size were you able to obtain with such a switch?

    Did it on a 22 lever action. For me it was more a preference thing. I like rear ghost ring type sights better. One item, I don't bother to adjust for elevation just hold higher on target for different distances.

    I put skinner sights on my Henry big boy. I like them a whole lot more than the stock buckhorn sights.
