Title: Sights for a H&R Single shot?
Post by: MikeStaten on February 08, 2016, 03:00:13 PM
Looking to have Sumtoy customize (forcing cone, thread for choke, choke etc..) my H&R 20 gauge.  I'd like to keep the gun as light and simple as possible.  Can anyone recommend a simple sight that he can tap and install on the barrel?  I tend to like smaller aiming references as opposed to a large bead.  I may also consider a red dot but I'm hesitant to go that route for durability issues and also that it seems like it would get snagged on brush.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

I'd look at having the barrel drilled and tapped for a set of Williams Firesights. A buddy of mine went that route on an NEF 10 ga. and it was a really solid setup. Call Williams and see which model they would recommend for a drill/tap application on your gun.

This.  Sumtoy drilled and tapped my NEF single 12 ga. and installed a set of Williams fiber optic sights last winter.  Excellent work there.
