Title: factory bead or new sites?
Post by: arrowslanger on March 19, 2013, 02:25:18 PM
Should I replace factory bead on 870 or leave it alone?........what do you think about the Dead Ringer sites?

If I have a gun that shoot to where I aim it with my preferred choke and load then I leave it alone. If your POA/POI are off then by all means get it sighted in!

I have seen a good many using the Dead Ringer's and they will be the next sites I try.

Arrowslanger; I was looking at the dead ringer also. I learned on another site that the express has a pressed in bead. I think the wingmaster might be screw in but not sure. If you have the express, you might have to drill and tap to hold front site in place. Its a really nice site.       cluck

My Express is a turkey model with double beads. The middle one is pressed and the front one is threaded.
