Which rear sight?

[GastonG-NoVa]

I just ran into a few 870 actions, and I already have an 18" barrel with a Scattergun Tech front sight. Now I am looking for a rear sight, but I have am unsure which one to get.

I am also going to put a rail on top, as well.

Any ideas as to which sight and which rail.................and........of course, where to get them?

Thanks,
G

Gaston,

I'm running a MMC from Brownells on my Benelli M1. It works pretty well and has a larger aperature than the stock Benelli sight.

Hans Vang has just developed a new rear sight with pic rail for 870 receivers. Definitely give him a call.

Don Lazzarini, in Northern CA, makes one of the best shotgun sights for the 870 that I have ever used. Here are pictures of his front and rear sights mounted on an 870. These have proven rock solid over many years of use on hundreds of duty and tactical 870's.



Of course, you could just use one of the excellent Aimpoint T1's...

The Vang Rear Sight is very robust.

I've seen the sight Vang has / had been selling on some 'guns, adjustment sure was, uh, interesting (and time consuming).

I've used the MMC rear for many years and I really like it - two are on personal 870s. My work 870 has the improved / re-designed SGT/Wilson rear with more adjustment. It works ok.

The folks at work who use them, really seem to like the MMC peep sights on their 870s... I like the rifle sights on a 20 inch barrel better, but that is not on your list...

I have this same Benelli M1-90 shotgun. I have been wanting to put those same ghost ring sights on it for some time and have been told it could not be done. Whos front sight is on yours and what size drill bit and tap is needed to mount this rear sight. Thanks...Jim

Jim,
I traded barrels and now have a 'factory' Ghost ring front sight barrel.
