Fiber Optics Tech

Fiber optic sights November 20th, 2008

Fiber optic sights are becoming popular for shotguns, as they greatly increase the brightness of the bead by collecting light and directing it to the shooter’s eye. Since the “rear sight” in the case of a shotgun is the shooter’s eye position, adjusting the “sights” on a shotgun consists primarily of adjusting the stock to fit the shooter as well as possible. Fiber optic sights offer some improvement over black iron sights in low light situations. In spite of the increased brightness of the sight dots I find the dots fuzzy and the green dots of the back sights tend to blend into the red dot in the center on many models. Fiber optic sights run approximately $10 a foot. Sight adjustment tools $15.00 and standard front sights anywhere from $11 to $15.
