When I got my new 835 Grand Slam Series Turkey last season and got it out to the range before the season, I found the point of impact to be a bit high, approximately 8 inches at 25 yards.
The gun came with some non-adjustable fiber optic sights that simply snap on to the vent rib. I made do with that for the season but want to fix the issue with a fully adjustable sight, as I did miss a longbeard last season and attribute that to this issue.
My question is, does anyone have any experience or recommendations with regard to fully-adjustable, vent-rib mounted open sights? I am considering the Tru Glo Pro Series Magnum Gobble Dot sights. They look very durable and are said to be fully adjustable.

I am hesitant to mount a red dot or scope for fear of knocking it out true while in the field and missing another bird. Any advice is surely appreciated.
I use a Burris FastFire, but I have fiber sights sighted in for back up. I just carry the Allen wrench in my vest to remove the red dot.
Anyway, I like the tru glo true bead adjustable sights. Some of the sight sets come with different height front sights. You need a taller one.
Trax I got the same rib sites for my mossberg 930 and it fit like a glove .. Sighting it in easy . It's clamp on real tight BUT I haven't had it in the feild yet , If this is what you want I'd say go for it .
Thanks gentlemen for your thoughts.
I'll probably order them. They're not too much money and I think they'll work. Glad to hear they clamp on tight. They look pretty heavy duty.
Your factory sights should be adjustable. The rear sight has a crude left/right slot. You should also be able to screw the rear sight up/down accordingly. Not as nice as some others out there though.
I have no experience with the truglo sights but liked the quality of Williams when I had it.

You're absolutely right, I said it wasn't adjustable but it is, although not enough. Even at its lowest setting the point of impact is still way too high.
Gotcha.
