Ron Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 After this weekends match at the PRO AM @ the Rock, I have come to realize I am seriously in need of a rear sight for my Remington Versa Max for shooting SLUGS!!! If anyone has any ideas from what they have used on there own Versa Max with great success, please let me know? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longshot83 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Jeff at c-rums can install an XS rear sight in the vent rib. I had it done to mine and it really helped with shooting slugs at distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericridebike Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Just curious, how does having the rear sight there effect the sight picture with the bead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longshot83 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Just curious, how does having the rear sight there effect the sight picture with the bead? That was mine concern as well, I was really hesitant to have it done because of that. It dosent affect it at all, when I am shooting steel or clays i dont even notice the rear sight.

StealthyBlagga Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I put a ghost ring on my son's VM Tactical recently - really easy with off the shelf parts. He drills slug targets now. I'll write something up with a few photos when I have a moment, and then post a link here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Nearly ran a local 5 stand (24/25) yesterday with my M2 with front and rear pistol sights. I was talking to Clint Upchurch about that "pistol front and rear sights'. But I just got done shooting and wasn't in the mind frame of listening and it totally went in one ear and out the next. I am going to look into that also. Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, good to know. Might have to send mine off for one as well. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevarm Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Just curious, how does having the rear sight there effect the sight picture with the bead? I have the Versamax Competition with the rear sight and I am contemplating taking it off. Even with the lowest rear sight it does seem to get in the way for me.

dogtired Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Is there a trick to installation regarding placement on the rib? Mine would be on a Beretta though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhunt91 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Saw this at a local match this weekend and this is what im gonna do i think Ruger 10 22 flip up rear sight guy had it dovetailed in at the back of the rib on the dip kept it down during ing stages with no slugs then flipped it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhunt91 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 His was a regualr one but i belive Hiviz makes a fiber optica one.pretty sweet Idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therealkoop Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The rear sight on the versamax competition/3 gun model is annoying IMO. I just draw a paint mark on the rear of the rib and use that for a sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M8Stealth Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 After a month, not sure if I like the VMCT factory rear sight yet or not for my eyes that aren't getting better with age. The 10/22 idea is an intriguing one but so is the spare EOTech XPS2 kicking around the misc parts bin. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=183482 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirForce2 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I know there are many opt's out there but I've tried hi viz and tru glo and the tru glo dual bead front & adj rear set is the best option for me. I like and dislike some things about both brands but the tru glo rear is adjustable elev & windage and is the smallest. I suggest using clear epoxy around the whole fiber optic section on the front & rear just to give it a little less risk of fibers breaking & falling out/off or if your gun hits a prop during recoil/dumping and slotted screws instead of the tiny allen/hex screw heads for the rear sight avail at most hw stores (always seem to strip the hex tool insert). I also use JB weld under the front sight since the little trough around the rib is not exact fitting. Here's what they look like on my setup.

ajg308 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Here is what I put on versa Max shotguns. Fully adjustable and crazy good for slugs. Copied from Daniel Horner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3guns Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Ajg308: Which Dawson sights did you install? Glock rear sight? Front? What is the height of the front? Does it really matter on the Versamax? Edited September 8, 2014 by PaidKiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hercster Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 When I first got my VMT I didn't like the picatinny rail on and put it aside. My gun has the FO front Hi Viz front. I messed around with the plates and got the stock adjusted to my fit and recently put the rail back on. To my surprise, the channel in the rail lines up well and I got good slug hits the last time out. I'll shoot more SG matches this winter and see where I go from there.
