I often make my shorter barreled SG's do double-duty in the game field and I've grown pretty fond of these XS Big Dot Express (tritium front & rear) sights. I can hold slugs into @ 3" off-hand at 40 yards and still make a wing shot with them if necessary.
They're as fast as a bead, almost as accurate as an aperture sight out to 50 yards and they're adjustable for perfect POI. At $120 for the set, the price ain't bad either.

I use an RDS, just like on my pistol and carbine.
RDS, then Ghost ring, then bead, then rifle sights. Never tried the XS on a SG.

If you are primarily shooting buckshot, what is the fastest sighting system?
XS front and rear or fiber optic "bead" in my experience. I prefer XS because the Flite-Control buckshot extends the range of buckshot beyond what I'm comfortable using a bead sight for.
African dangerous game rifles have used "express" sights for 100 years because they work.
