Fitting Henry HIVIZ sights on Rossi 92

[2Wheels4Ever]

I wish they made these specific to the Rossi. No such luck, however.
Got the rear sight installed. I had to make a brass shim under the dovetail and mill a substantial portion from the bottom of the sight in order to sit low enough to not shoot 3ft high.

I may keep the front stock for now. It's a finer sight than the HIVIZ one.

I went with the Skinner Alaskan peep on mine and used the Ranger Point Precision dovetail filler.
If I recall, the stock Henry buckhorn sight has a large notch.

I almost went with that peep sight that fits where the bolt safety is; it would add quite a bit of sight radius, but I didn't like that it wasn't windage adjustable. That's what I liked about the HIVIZ, the rear is windage and elevation adjustable.

How do you like having a peep aperture further away from your eye?

It's not, it's closer.

Oh nice, unfortunately, you can't get away with that style on the 92. That really makes me want to buy that new Marlin 1894 in .44mag.

Hard to find except for Gunbroker.
And they're not really gouging for them.
$950 - $1150 which is the going rate for a levergun these days.
