Shotgun sights -- what kind and why

[LHS]

I'm a big fan of pistol grip ergonomics, so that alone is huge for me especially with Mossbergs. Combine that with adjustable LOP and built in sling attachment, it's definitely well thought out.

Apparently it's too late for me to edit my previous post, but I for some reason added an extra word. Instead of "I am not convinced they're the Answer", I meant to say "I am convinced they're the Answer".

That makes more sense

These old school MMCs will soon be going on an old 870P.

I got a set of those XS sights and had them put on a 18.5 inch barrel. Look good so far.



Here is the whole rig, my bear shotgun in non NFA format.

These sights are really growing on me! I think they are a great balance between speed but with enough precision to place a slug at reasonable distances. I really don't enjoy shooting 12 gauge Brenneke slugs (the 20 gauge slugs are much nicer to shoot), especially since tearing my retina two years ago, but I shot the 3x5 at 25 today, then 8 inch steel at 60 yards, and the sights were just fine for that level of precision.

Our bird dog ran off a brown bear near my wife yesterday morning, as I was down the way with my Benelli. The M2, in some flavor, is pretty much a constant companion around here. Here it is, in my hands, exercising the dog earlier today.

This Benelli mount looks very interesting:

I've never been a huge shotgun guy but have to ask the question. If you have that mount and put an RMR on it, what are you attaching to the extra rail space?

I guess you could attach one of our backup ghost rings backwards to the front of it...

Two possibilities interest me.

1) that the mount would get a RMR low enough, that sights on the rib like I recently installed, would be usable through the RMR window. Not so sure about a RMR in my neck of the world, but low is good.

2) that the rail is lower enough than others, that I could put a T1 in an OEM mount on the rail, and disregard the RMR mounting provisions.

Just thinking out loud.

"The Scalarworks Benelli Optic Rail for Trijicon RMR sights (BOR/RMR) is the only co-witnessing red dot sight mount for Benelli Tactical shotguns."

The co-witness aspect is what got my attention. I assume that's with the factory irons.

Yeah, I was just trying to figure out why they went with a rail section to finish out the mount. I guess because that's what people expect to have.

Now I see they have a light and sling mount on the rail.
