rifle sights for smooth barrel

badmac183 · 06-23-2011

what kind of options do I have when looking for a set of rifle sights for a plain non vent rib barrel?

I take it you are talking about a shotgun, there are a lot of after market sights out there.
I have one of these on an old shotgun and it works good, or at least I can hit the target with it.

Have you tried using optics many companys make after market scope mounts for shotguns.

Sorry, i meant to say it was a shotgun and i was looking for a set of iron or fiber optic sights. i would prefer to stay away from any type of optic.

and all the sights i find are for the front i cant find a rear sight.

Haven't looked for a long time but I remember Walmart used to have a set (green front, amber dual strip rear) of fiber-optic sights that just slid into a vent-rib barrel and clamped down by tightening a set screw on the side. Might peruse their sporting goods section if you haven't.

...or open up the Brownells catalog.

Make some measurements of barrel OD at the point you want to mount your rear sight, and again at the front sight mounting - match up sight heights using the charts to get where you need to be.

The sky is the limit as to your options.
