KMG21 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I just bought a new Benelli Nova and am looking to replace the stock front red bead sight. I was wondering if anyone has done this and what may be the best for a reasonable price. Links would be appreciated . thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 What type of shooting are you doing? If you're shooting moving targets, i.e., birds, clays, etc., and you're "aiming" with the sight, you're doing it wrong. You should be looking at the target and most serious shooters feel that there's no need for the front bead at all. Having said that, there are a number of possibilities for replacement. I used one of these for a while. They're cheap and the magnets hold it on under shooting conditions just fine. They will come off if bumped while walking through brush or around low hanging limbs. I found it to be too bright and distracting. http://www.brownells.com/shotgun-parts/sights/front-sights/shotgun-fiber-optic-sight-prod9507.aspx I tried a couple of other similar versions but they had the same issues. I settled on the Trijicon Trijidot. The fiber optic is much smaller and doesn't glow like a road flare on the end of the barrel. Quite a bit more expensive but I found it to work for my purposes and isn't as distracting for clays/birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
