    870 Front sight

    I want to upgrade my bead sight....any sugestions for this? I was looking at the Truglo TFO, but not sure about the reviews.

    This 870 is my HD weapon.

    What barrel do you have on your 870? If it is a bead sight then it is pressed on. For this I recommend the XS Big Dot. It glues over the exsisting bead and is designed to conform to the ramp your bead is pressed in to.

        I've been shooting the 870 since 1972. My HD is a wingmaster 12 ga. frame chambered for 20 ga. Chop sawed the vent rib bbl. at 18 inches(any shorter and it doesnt balance or feel right) No sight is needed, it's all feel.

          +1... very hard to go wrong with the XS Big Dot.

          Not to mention any shorter would be a felony unless the gun was papered....

            I guess the consensous it the XS Big Dot.....and of coarse you expertise

            My barrel is the 18.5 fixed cylnider choke. What kind of glue works best for this?

            After further review of the XS Big Dot, what is the difference from the XS dot for the pedestal barrel and mine....do I even have one?
