NJgunner Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I shoot clays,pheasant hunt and deer hunt so im not sure which to get, but I wanted to get the easy hit fiber optic sight that tom knapp uses. How would I remove the stock red sight on my SBII and install this one? Also which size is best? Quote
tucker301 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I tried one for a few hours of frustration when duck hunting a couple of years ago. Ended up ripping it off the barrel and tossing it into the lake. As soon as I did that, I began hitting birds again. I think it's a good tool for people with eye dominance problems or those who can't keep their head down on the stock properly. I was on limbsaver's site yesterday and I noticed that they have some new fiber optic sights there as well. Quote

Does limbsaver make a replacement pad for SBII comfortech and do you think its worht the investment? Also if I get this sight do I leave stock one on or take off? Quote
tucker301 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 Yes. Maybe, but I've never tried one. Remove the original. It unscrews. Quote

chop123 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I have one on my m2,I like it.I think it does help me keep my head down on the stock.I got it from Tom Knapps web site,I ordered the hunting style but they sent the sporting clays one,I made do. Quote
Matt D Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I have used them for a couple years and they work fine. Before I like and used Hi Viz, but the magnetic sights worked its way down the barrel with recoil. Quote

Honkers41 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I've been useing Easyhit sights for about a season or so on my SBE.2..its works great for me...helps me find the end of the barrel alot faster then that little bead that Benelli put on it.... Quote
gregor187 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Don,t remove the factory site just put the easy hit right in front of it. You will have a factory backup just in case the Easy Hit were to come off. Never had one get loose after years of use. (But just in case) Quote
Novaking Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 I have one on my spr 310 o/u. I use it because the gun doesn't fit me well so it helps me keep my head down. Quote
goose2 Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Does limbsaver make a replacement pad for SBII comfortech and do you think its worht the investment? Also if I get this sight do I leave stock one on or take off?They do make a replacement pad that screws right on. It fits perfect. I really like it. We tested with and without two guns side by side. A big difference expesualy when the weather gets colder. The stock pad turns pretty hard. Quote

How exactly do I remove the stock fiber optic sight on my SBII? Quote
gregor187 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Just heat up the Rib (a little) and unscrew the site. They are threaded. Quote
NJgunner Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 Just heat up the Rib (a little) and unscrew the site. They are threaded. This doesnt burn the plastic Quote
gregor187 Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Heat the rib...Metal Only,,,,,Just to loosen the lock tight material around the treads. Quote
goose2 Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I just unscrewed mine. I didn't need to heat it up. Quote
NJgunner Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 I just unscrewed mine. I didn't need to heat it up. You turned your stock fiber optic SBII sight counter clockwise without any problems? I dont know I just put the easy hit right in front of stock sight.I like it Quote
goose2 Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 You can leave the site frame on the gun but I would at least push the little fiber optic piece out. I know two people who have lost that piece already. They don't know how they were lost but looked at them and they had fallen off. Quote
