mountihg fiberoptic sights

[winter8]

I just got a pairof truglo fiber optic sights these are the kind that mount on the rib of your shotgun they have to screws that clamp them to the rib i just wanted to know how far apart from each other they should be i know one of them should be at the very end of the barrel near the choke i dont know if i should put the other one in the middle of the barrel or at the end near the receiver.

My front sight is pushed all the way up just a hair before touching the front bead.My rear sight is on thesecond section where the rib levels out,just to make sure it is on a level piece of the rib.Here is a pic of my rear sight,and you can see how the rib slopes up from the barrel.The sight is mounted on that2nd flat section.You could put it on the first flat section closer to your face,but it made the rear beads look too large for me,so I moved it forward a little more.

I measured it.On my remington from the front of the front sight..to the front of the rear sight is 16".That is on a 26" barrel.I mount it the same on my 870 super express mag.That distance was 18 1/2"(1/2" more assumably because it has a 3 1/2" chamber..).I like how small the front bead looks on my longer barreled gun.It makes pin point aiming so much easier.Hope I helped.

I mounted mine the same as Ranchand.Works pretty well.

I've got the same set-up on my 10 as well as one of my 12's!For myself I have found moving the back site more forward towards the dot site keeps me from shooting high!My back site is only 10 inch's from my dot site!This really forces me to keep my head down and cheek against my stock!Once you get them mounted most definately shoot it and and see what you think!I know they've helped me under low-light conditions many a time!!
