Title: Mossberg 535 shooting high
Post by: Fourcooks on May 20, 2014, 08:34:12 AM
Hello Gentleman.  I purchased the 535 turkey/waterfowl combo last week. It shoots consistently high. I have the rear sight adjusted as far down as possible but still shoots high. About 10 inches at 40 yards. I will change the sights but would like some opinions. If I go fiber optic, I have read good things about TruGlo pro magnum series. But I am intrigued by red dot. I like both the TruGlotru-brite and Bushnell trs25. Would I be able to use these with the waterfowl barrel for ducks and doves? Or would I be better off with fiber optic?  Thanks

Red dot with saddle mount. You can pop it of easy after turkey season. I hear the trs25 is a good one.

First of all welcome to OG. We're glad you're here and look forward to hearing more from you.

It's only  the turkey barrel that shoots high? I'd remove the sights that are on the gun and see how it shoots with just the bead. If it's still high, I'd recommend the Truglo Pro-Series sights that you've mentioned. They work exceptionally well and you can take them off, put them back on without having to zero them again.

Again, welcome.

Thanks,
Clark

Thanks very much. Yes it is the turkey barrel only. Can't decide between pro series sights or a red dot. Decisions decisions.
