ive got this shotgun with these sights on it




the front isnt adjustable..only the rear..but with it bottomed out my slugs hit 1 foot high at 50 yards and still 6 or so inches high at 100 yards...help!!! what to do? thanks for any help

If you can adjust for windage, maybe thats why. Either that or fiddle around with your sights a little. My friend had this sort of problem, went to Bass Pro and got a laser boresighter for $15.99 and played with his sights and finally got them adjusted.

lose the rail and mount the site to the receiver

This is one of those "defrost the chicken" type of answers.

Is there a mag extention for this shotgun? If so where?

[rick1881]

Which choke tube are you using?

[reddot556]

i think its called improved cylinder...its a invector choke...could that make a difference?..it holds 7+1 but it looks like a straight tube..no add on's

Kentucky windage.

Assuming you have about a 24" sight radius on that shotgun and it's hitting a foot high at 50 yards, you need to lower the rear sight 0.160".
That's about 3/16" if you don't do decimal measurements well.
I have almost the same sight on my Benelli and 870 and it mounts directly to the receiver.
Is there some plate that the sight is bolted down to that lets it mount on that rail?
You need to move the sight towards the rear so it sits behind the rail.
That's going to get it closer to your eye where it belongs AND drop it down the necessary amount.

You should be using a cylinder choke not an improved cylinder and rifled slugs, that might help.

Nothing wrong with shootiing slugs through an IC choke.

The rail is for an optic not a ghost ring sight. Assuming Randall's math is correct (I believe him) the 3/16th you need to lower the site is about the thickness of the rail.

Our maybe it's because you're centering the fiber optic part of the front sight in the rear sight. If so try using the top edge of the rear sight instead.

Sgt Raven your idea is sound but you would have to put the FO in the bottom of the GR not the top to lower your POI.

The rail is the problem.

You may want to contact PSI (LPA) and see what they say about different front sight blades.

The sights are designed for this gun and there included in the box. As for the choke it is not recomended to use anything other than a cylinder choke tube with slugs by the mfg.

I've never heard of only shooting slugs from a Cylinder choke but if they want that then ok. I don't know anybody that uses a Cylinder choke most I know use a IC choke some use a modified. That doesn't mean anything there's alot of people that I don't know.

The sites came in the box and they don't work. The difference per Randalls math is about the thickness of the rail.

The guns I've seen with the rail and a GR site have shot high too and that was with a front site that was adjustable.
