Can anyone recommend a good peep sight for an 870?

If you have a vent rib on your shotgun you may have to use something like the williams peep.

If you have a plain barrel you may want to go with a ghost ring set up.

Both would require drilling and tapping.

Maybe someone else here has a better solution?

Good Luck!

try the Dead Ringer....about 30 bucks. I have used this type sight on several shotguns over the years. Been deadly for me. It should work great on the straight rib of an 870.
