Re: Fiber Optic Front Sight
I love the visibility, especially on a turkey gun. My only complaint is that most of them are fragile or at least not as bulletproof as a gold or ivory bead.

[updated]
As shared earlier, my defender has one. The defender recoil is painful. The sight has not broken, cracked nor come loose. If the sight is made of polycarbonate (or better) it should [not] break or crack.

Re: Fiber Optic Front Sight
Well I may start out with a fiber optic front and try it out on a couple of my lever guns.
A 1911 I am currently looking at (and will most likely buy) has a fiber optic front and hopefully it works well. I really like the brightness of them outside but have only looked at them and never shot with one so I am hoping it works for me.
The William's fiber optic fronts are pretty cheap so it's not a lot invested if I don't like it - but really hoping I do.

Re: Fiber Optic Front Sight
Not as concerned with recoil as much as bushwhacking through thickets. Look for the ones that have three bands( one in the middle) holding them onto the base. I have them on my bow and generally have to replace some every few years.

Re: Fiber Optic Front Sight
we have an orange reflective front sight on our Ruger Redhawk and a green one on the Remington 11-87Mistered wrote:Anyone use a fiber optic front sight?
the rear sight on our Redhawk has a reflective, white outline around the notch .... the rear sight on the 11-87 is a brass bead on the ventilated ribMistered wrote:What rear are you using it with?
the sights on our Redhawk are fine but I prefer the Aimpoint red dot .... the green sight on the shotgun has proven to be an exceptionally effective upgrade .... I wouldn't want to go without itMistered wrote:If so ya like it? Hate it?

I drag my turkey gun through a LOT of thick brush in pretty mountainous terrain. 4 years of spring and fall hunting seasons with no issues so far.Mistered wrote:Hmm... this could be a problem...My only complaint is that most of them are fragile or at least not as bulletproof as a gold or ivory bead.
