CraigS. Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I have a M1 S90 benelli with a 21" VR barrel and havn't found anything other than the Williams firesights - two piece set, which i feel are a bit large in size. Any ideas would be helpful. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhearn Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Craig I just put on one of the HiViz Turkey sights. The pointed fiber pipes come in different sizes. I think its going to work. Maybe worth a look. HiViz Turkey MHearn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AH6IP Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Another vote for the HiVis Comp sight up front. Or you could have a Williams Firesight dovetailed in to your vent rib if there is enough meat on the rib. Mark-why did you switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhearn Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Harp I've only used this set up a couple of times, but so far so good. However, If you say to go back, back I'll go. I got creamed on a long range slug stage up in Tennessee. Small stuff at a 100 yards. I wasn't getting my head and cheek positioning on the stock in the same place when in a hurry. Subsequently, I'm hitting all over the place. I know there is nothing faster than a straight ventilated rib with a small fiber out front, but I felt I needed something in the back, for those occassions when some stage designer gets crazy. Is this were you tell me something about the tail wagging the dog? If you have something that you think will work on my Browning, let me know. By the way, nice looking website. Who's Browning is that? NICE. MHearn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AH6IP Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 If you are referring to the pump, it is one I just built as an R+D He-Man blaster. But it sure does work nice. Hey as far as sights, whatever works for the shooter. As far as a back sight, either a Marble fold down adjustable leaf dovetailed into the vent rib, or (like I put on the BPS pump) a Williams WGRS 37 mounted on the rear of the receiver with the ghost ring insert. It's very cool! Oh and BTW-since I have officially entered the Senior class, that would be "Mr. Harp"!!! LOL JL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always good when compitition changes the way you think about your set-up. Sounds like the ticket for long range slugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny hill Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Listen to the gorilla. That is the sight I use & install on the custom shotguns that leave the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharps54 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Does anyone know of a good smith that does this mod. One that can cutdown the barrel and rethread for choke tubes would be a plus. Thanks in advance. 300lbGorilla said, This is what you want for a front sight: https://www.hivizsights.com/cart/shopexd.asp?id=36 Have a 'smith install a fold-down rifle sight like this one: http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/Store/Pro...2c+REAR%2c+OPEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillL223 Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I use the Hi-Viz as suggested but had problems with it rotating around its single mounting screw. At the suggestion of kurtm, I drilled it and the rib and pinned it with a cut off 1/16" brad. This fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where exactly is the rear sight dovetailed to the rib. Should/can it be mounted so the blade isn't seen while folded down? Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 The 10/22 rear is an awesome idea. My sg will be sporting one of those in the near future. 40-50 yards is easy with just the bead. 100 starts getting dicey. You really have no choice but to melt the 10/22 sight into the rib. Otherwise it will force you to pull your head off the comb of the stock. I'd really like to see a pic of how far the sight is melted in as well.

BillL223 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Bill H, I use the Marble fold down. I designed the set-up and Jim @ EGW machined the dovetail in the rib. Next time we shoot shotgun together, take a look at it. I thought you liked dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AH6IP Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 The Marble is the way to go. Has windage and elevation adjustments, plus a standard 60 X .375 dovetail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckbradley Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I just put a set of truglo pro turkey sights on my vent rib. I love the sight picture they give but the way they attach sucks. They only hold by the side with no lip to hold them on the rib. With recoil they work their way off. Not too happy with them. I do like they way they sit up a little higher off the rib. http://www.truglosights.com/content/produc...ries_magnum.asp Anybody have a better choice.

slowsure Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Chuck I use the HiViz CompSight. Easy install and has a few different pipes in different colors and sizes (diamiters) to play with. I found the one I like and havent changed since. HiViz CompSight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckbradley Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Since I wasnt happy with the truglo sights I got, in fact not just unhappy they are flawed in design. I am trying these, ordered them today. Looks like they will fasten on the rib securely, unlike the truglo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbs007 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Here's what I use on my blaster... Front: https://www.hivizsights.com/cart/shopexd.asp?id=36 Rear: https://www.hivizsights.com/cart/shopexd.asp?id=38 I use a red lite pipe for the front in contrast to the green rear. Works out really well for me. Chuck, I like the set you have. Who makes it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
686+ Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Is the HiViz CompSight still the setup for a front sight on a SG or is there a better setup? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
