Ultimate Arms Gear Universal 12/20 Gauge/Shotgun Glowing Green Line Plain Barrel Front Fiber Optic Sight

I bought this to use on a Winchester Model 1300 Defender 12 gauge shotgun, that comes equipped with a small bead sight at the front. The installation of this Ultimate Arms sight was a good idea. The green sight collects a lot of light and the ease to align the barrel of the shotgun with the downrange target is greatly improved. I might add that I am using slugs through the Winchester, so target sighting is a bit more crucial than shooting shot loads. Installing this sight is just a little tricky in so far as the fit is quite tight, but it does go on with just a little patience and effort. It will fit. Once it is on, it is on for good. It does not move under slug recoil.. I was using the shotgun at 50 yards and easily getting 1" groups, centered.. The sight has a small notch in the front that captures the existing bead sight, so it self aligns. If you use a shotgun at a target range, this sight will add to your enjoyment. Recommended.

Snaps on to 12 ga with effort. Heating in boiling water seemed to help flexibility. Gathers light in sun for targeting. Will not help at night or low light conditions.

Great sight, fair price.

Although this does "snap on" the barrel (strong fingers required) and has an index for the front bead sight, some fitting may be required. On a Remington 870 tactical I had to trim the front to fit around the front sight base and notch the rear sides where a magazine tube clamp attached - easy work with a dremel & a cutting disk and sanding tool.

Item is plastic

Took a little maneuvering to get it centered but is as snug as they come!
