I opted for a fiber optic bead on my gun. I just like the way it gathers light... but still a bead.

Single "Raybar" bead on my 20 gauge Ithaca. I swapped the original out for the one that was on my Dad's old full choke 12 gauge barrel when he passed. We hunted together a lot, and he would have wanted me to have his pet shotgun, but my sister took all his guns and sold them for pennies on the dollar before I could get it. Luckily she left the barrel, so at least I can carry a part of his old shotgun.

Geesh, thats terrible OldSchool, I am sorry for your loss as well as what your sister did.  I know my Dad's guns, as well as my Grandfathers guns are some of my most cherished possesions.  I couldnt imagine why your sister would do that without thinking of you.  Glad you can see the positive in this...my best to you.

Thank you. Dad had a nice gun collection, but only a few had any sentimental value to me and his shotgun was at the top of the list. It was probably the least valuable gun he owned, but I would have traded all the rest for it. Watch your back when there's a dollar involved.
