Thoughts on Replacement Sights for Tracker II 20ga. barrel??

[Nova]

Just acquired a Tracker II barrel in 20 ga...and I am less than impressed with the stock rifle sights.  While they do like quite sturdy and well made, I would like something that might be a little easier to shoot.  The only options I can really think of right now are a Williams peep sight or fiber optics of some sort.  I would really like to hear your thoughts and experiences with other sights on this gun.  I have tried a search on the topic...but did not have much success in finding what I was looking for. 

Thanks in advance!

ps...What kind of accuracy are others getting with open sights out of this set up?

From what I HEAR (don't have one) they are scary accurate with the load each gun prefers. Throw a peep on. If you are already thinking about just go ahead and do it.

Can't help you with the open sights, but I had mine drilled and tapped put a 2X Tru Glo red dot on and with 2 3/4" lightfield hybrid express it shot 3 shots into 2 holes touching at 65 yards. tracker II 20ga are incredible when you find the sabot it likes.

  Spikehorn has that right. I have seen picture of groups he has shot with it. They are fantastic.

I'm in the exact same boat! Although I'm happy with the rear site , which I swear is the Williams WGOS series ( I called Williams but the guy I spoke with didn't know, maybe it is since Williams makes the receiver site for the Buffalo Classic). If it is the WGOS they make different blades including a fiber-optics ghost ring that you might like. You'll probably want to replace the front site as well and I think they are soldered on. I like a gold bead on a post for a front site and I'm going to try and modify the one that came with it. If that doesn't work out I'll use the Williams Shotgun Shorty Ramp in 20 gauge and have a gunsmith install it.

The more I look at these sights, the more I think I'm going to give them a fair shot before I start changing things.  Possibly just some sight paint on the front to give some more contrast??

SJB,

Have you shot the Tracker II yet?  What kind of accuracy are you getting with which ammo?

[SJB]

No I haven't , I was hoping to resolve my  front site issue first. I called H&R this morning and asked if the rear site is the Williams WGOS, the technician said he was 95% sure it was and the replacement blades offered by Williams should fit. I'll let you know how it performs when I get a chance to shoot it.
