FREE RIFLEMAN Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Ok, I bought my very first Benelli. A beautiful M1 Tactical with rifle sights. I wanted the Ghost Ring, but you can't argue with $480 as a one year-old with an extended magazine kit. I think it was a killer deal... I e-mailed Benelli about the whole, "I want Ghost Ring sights on my rifle-sighted Benelli" problem. Their answer was: Mann & Sonns 618-357-2911 Hesco 706-884-7967 I'm currently out of the country, but cannot find anything on Mann & Sonns on the internet. Hesco, on the otherhand are Tritium inserts for the Ghost Ring, which I don't have! I don't think they listened to my problem... Does anyone know where to get a differant sight set or if I can? I would like to put Benelli sights on rather than mounting something like MMC or another outside manufactured sight set. Any suggestions?

M1014 Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Welcome FREE RIFLEMAN,you got a great deal,my first Benelli was twice as much and a millionths worth it.about your sights,looks like some gunsmithing or armorer work is going to have to happen ,if push came to shove,maybe another barrel with G-R sights and install a rear LPA ITALY G-R ramp in the back.Post a pic of your baby,we love to see it, later M1014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREE RIFLEMAN Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 Thanks, M1014. I had to buy it at that price, I'd NEVER afford one otherwise. I am very proud of it, I'll post a pic when I return stateside, in about two months. I am planing on giving it a three point sling, Sure Fire light and maybe a pistol grip in addition to the Ghost Rings. I guess maybe a steady diet of Federal OOBuck is in order as well! When I get a chance to inspect it closer, I'll determine how/what sights to use. I was hoping for a simple solution from Benelli... no such luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambihunter Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 For most uses the ghost rings don't really help much (but argueably they do look cool). Worse case scenario, order a new barrel with them and sell your old one. I've seen used barrels go for upwards of 80% of the cost of a new barrel. Considering what a 'smith will charge this might actually be cheaper. Good luck, and you got a heckuva deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREE RIFLEMAN Posted March 26, 2004 Author Share Posted March 26, 2004 Thanks for the replies, I got an answer from brownells and they have a sight that switches out. Also, the Gunsite GR looks like it will serve my purpose, quite well. Gunsite's listed at $115, which is MUCH cheaper than MMC. It is unprotected, which is fine. BTW, I think the world of the Ghost Ring, fastest Target Acquisition besides a red dot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
