I have a Mossberg 500 that I want to add ghost ring sights to in order to make better shots out to 50 - 75 yards with slugs. After shooting 50+ shells of both buckshot and slugs with an 18" barrel I've decided that I can't comfortable shoulder the gun and shoot accurately with the single bead sight. I can't quickly and comfortable shoulder the shotgun with the bead being lower compared to a vent rib barrel.
I've used tech sights (aperture) on an SKS I used to have and a .22 rifle I currently have and I like the speed and accuracy I can get from them.
I stumbled across the Vang Comp rear ghost ring sight with an integral rail while searching for ghost ring sights. I like that you can have the ghost ring sight on the gun without it taking up rail space in case I ever wanted to put a red dot on it without messing up the ghost ring.
The only problem I see from looking at this online is that just the rear ring with the rail is $190 by itself. I love the look and idea of the integral rail, but would like to find something cheaper. Does anyone know of a different manufacturer that makes a ghost ring like this?
For the cost of the Vang Comp rear ghost ring with the rail, front sight, installing the front sight and drilling the receiver for the rail, I could almost afford a new or slightly used rifle. The only positive thing in that scenario is that I would only need the shotgun for pretty much anything (realistically) I would need a long arm for.
