bosoxfan21 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Does anyone have any recommendations for replacement sights for a Mossberg 930? I have the 24" turkey barrel that have the fiber optic sights on it but it shoots slugs nearly 3 ft high at 85 yds and the current sights are not adjustable.

rangerguy Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I run Hi-Viz 4 in 1 sights on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telecat Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I had an issue very similar to yours. I have a 930 with a 24" turkey barrel and slugs shot high left. I would have to hold at the bottom corner of an IDPA sized steel target at 75 yds. Spinners and poppers were a nightmare. I bought a set of truglo true point Xtreme sights and that gave me a tall enough front sight to bring poi down and enough windage to center the shots. There was a bad side effect to this. Birdshot poi changed. The change I made corrected the 5% of shots (slug shots) that I made in a match but threw off the other 95%(Birdshot). I started missing easy static targets. I eventually took off the rear and put a Hi-viz comp front sight only. Then I put in the stock shim to lower the drop of the stock and went to the range. My poi is a few inches low but windage is good. I'm not sure why the windage issue was fixed but I can deal with a bit low poi. My groups are not as good as my buddy's 1301 but I can hit stuff with it now. I read Patrick Kelly's article on gun fit and that's what put me to where I am. Maybe try changing the shim (unless you already have) and get rid of the rear sight altogether. Other than the slugs used for testing its a free change. Oh, also my accuracy suffers when the barrel gets leaded up. My barrel is not the smoothest and gets leaded up very quickly. I have to used a tornado brush to get the lead out. Even a match with only 5 slug shots will lead up my barrel. Just my .02 using the same gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosoxfan21 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Thanks. That's very good info! I was worried about what changing the sights would do to the bird shot. It's just very frustrating to have so much trouble with the slugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
