Lrdchaos Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Who makes the best fiber optic front sight for the Benelli M4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Haven't seen one other than the Hi-Viz. I have one and it's pretty much ineffective. The "dot" is too small to really be seen out on the end of the barrel, regardless of the light level. Personally, if I didn't already have another maker's rail/side saddle on mine, I'd go with the ScalarWorks RMR rail. You have the advantages of a RDS and still have iron sight capability if something goes haywire with the RMR. IMO, it's the best sighting option out there for a defensive/combat shotgun. The RMR isn't sticking six inches above the receiver. It's a tough and very light sight, which is important since the M4 is a heavy sucker to begin with.

Lrdchaos Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thanks for the info. I'm pretty dissaponted with the options for the M4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les_garten Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Thanks for the info. I'm pretty dissaponted with the options for the M4. Purely market share driven Not a lot of people out there like the nutz around here who will pay that much for a shotgun. You can get anything ya want for a Mossy 500/590 or Rem 870 or the Chinese versions of each one cause there's a bazillion of them out there. IMO we're lucky to have the stuff we do when you consider the demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout_21 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hmm, with a good drill press I'm sure one could insert a tritium vial into the front sight http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=295997 It would be hard to market as les_garten pointed out...but something someone could do at home or at a machine shop.

les_garten Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I have a XS front sight in mine and an LPA rear Fiberoptic sight I haven't shown it here yet because I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet and see if it works. The front sight is considerably taller. If the XS Sight does not work. I'll buy a stock sight, mill it out, drill it and put a FO rod in it. That's the only way to get a decent FO sight till out friend Stranger Danger gets in that business... or FFT maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
