Anybody have secrets for mounting adjustable fiber optics on the raised ribs like the benellis or stoegers. Ive had both and cant ever get them were I can adjust the sights dead on, they always seem to shoot low. Put the same sights on my beretta or remington and they are dead on. I have a red dot on my stoeger but sure would like to go back to the fiber optics.

Have you tried moving the rear sight mounting position along the rib?  Changing its location on the rib can effect your POI.

Yep as far back as it can go and about as far forward as they can go. Left/right is fine.

Had same results with Benelli black eagle as the stoeger. Need about 8 inch more adjustment to be spot on.

OK, so you are shooting low.  You need to lower your front site or raise your back sight.  I don't know which brand of sights you are using and I know this means more money, but is there another brand or model of sight that would give you a lower front so you could use the front from one kit and the adjustable rear you have?  It is that or look for a way to shim the back sight if possible.

Been looking for after market ghost rings, cant find any for benellis.

I had the same problem once, and fixed it by putting the factory front Fiber optic bead on the M2 and the Adjustable rear sight from a SVL Dead Center combo on the back. I took me from shooting extremely low to being right where I wanted to be.
