Which model FN SLP sights

[gont]

Hello, Im new to competitive shooting and will be shooting NRA NPSC along with 3-gun matches. I shot an SLP today and really liked it.

Which sights on the SLP would be more precise for accurate slug shooting at 50 yards? The cantilever barrel with the rear folding leaf or the ghost ring version.

Thanks for any help. Tim

Go with the cantilever one and the flip down sight......and cut that cantilever OFF!!!, it just gets in the way, kinda like ghost ring sights.

I have the cantilever one w/flip down rifle sight. I left the cantilever on mine.

Thanks for the help so far. Someone was telling me yesterday that you can use the cantilever mount as a type of rear sight also.

That is what I do. Look down the "trough" and put the front fiber optic right in the middle. Fast and works.

+1 for the folding leaf.

I had a Win mark 2 with the ghost. way too tall 4 me. slugs wouldn't hit without a 'hold-under'.

sold it for a FN in the mark 1 config... all's well.

+1 on the cantilever set up. I had an FN SLP with the ghost sights; you really need to ensure that the rear sight is tight to on the tactical rail (comes loose will definitely affect accuracy). Not sure if it makes a difference for your purposes, but the cantilever adds flexibility; you can swap in the rifled barrel should you choose without disturbing the sight set up. Not the same if the ghost ring is on the rear reciever. Also, swapping in a cantilever won't fit with the tactial rail installed on the rear reciever.

Where can I get an FN SLP MK I with the 22" smoothbore barrel?
