Shooting High
« on: December 30, 2008, 08:05:20 AM »
Santa brought me a new NEF pardner, the one with the 18 1/2 inch barrel, no screw in chokes.
I shot #4 shot, and a few slugs.  Both shoot high. 
What would be best?
-I could take it to a gunsmith, and have a taller bead, or a genuine front sight installed.  Trouble is, my gunsmith is pretty good, but he takes weeks, sometimes months to complete a job.
-I was wondering if there was some type of aftermarket front sight that can I myself could attach in some manner.

Thanks

Try one of the HI-VIZ glue on or magnet type sights . Might take gun to store and see if it looks like it would work . other option is shoot a heaiver load .

Check Brownells or Midway USA for after market sights. A regular bead sight shoots high with slugs and buckshot. Police shotguns have a higher bead installed to adjust the aimpoint from the crotch to the center mass area for 50 yrd shots. These were on the 870's  I was issued. I used a Mossberg mod 500    18 1/4" cylinder bore barrel with Remingtom Mod 700 rifle sights installed on the barrell for 20 years. Fired to point of aim up close or out to 100 yards.

I had the same trouble with the 20" turkey bbl on my Encore. A limbsaver recoil pad really helped bring the pattern down.
