Peep Sight on a Slug Gun ?

[Bob96]

  Wondering if anyone is using a peep sight on their slug gun?  Like it better than regular open sights. Use the largest available apeture?

I would like to. I couldn't find any peep sights for slug barrels. Who makes them?

I put a "ghost ring" sight on my 590 Mariner.  I love it, it is just like a large peep on the back(adjustable) and a front blade.  Mossberg made the one I put on.  3" groups at 50 yards with Foster slugs/20" cylinder bore barrel.

Hi,
I use a Skinner barrel mounted sight on a Winchester 1300. The skinner peep sights are really well made and the barrel mounted sight is a easy install. Here is a link to the Skinner sight.

Yes, why not?

I don't have one on a slug gun but I do have one on a Winny 94 32 special. It is a lyman # 2 works great for picking up the target quickly and centering the front bead.
I also have a Thompson Center one on My T/C Hawkins muzzle loader. Once again it is the cats meow with my old eyes, alineing on a target and centering the front bead.
Lyman still makes some models as does Marble. Williams gun sight Davison Michigan sells several models

I have one on a Mossberg 500 12ga 18.5" smoothbore.  It is the Mossberg one as described above, and gives me 5-6" groups at 100yds, and usually 2" or so at 50yds when I do my part.  Now those groups are with regular practice.  I wanted to see what would happen without it, and after 6 months of not shooting this gun, I went to 4-5" at 50 and 11-12" at 100 yds, so practice  is definitely very important with this gun.  I shoot it at least once every couple months to maintain accuracy with it.  This started life as my defensive shotgun, and still serves that purpose, but it is seeing more and more hunting use as the years go by.  I say pick one you like, and go see what your shotgun is really capable of with some practice and slugs it likes.

I have one on my Encore 12 gauge slug gun.  It works great!

Got a factory H&R "Buck" model 12 g smoothbore w/factory peep sight. side mounted Wiliams type...never shot it though, but it has large aperature in peep

I made a Topper 20ga smooth bore shorty, had d&t for Williams WGRS rear and shorty ramp front.  Don't remember sight heights.  Shoots most slugs good to 50yd.  Daughter likes Marlin 357 carbine better.  Texas cowgirl...
