870 Express Tactical for Hunting

[XACEX]

i have an 870 Marine Mag with an 18" bbl for HD. I bought a new 28" express vent rib bbl from midway usa with a mod choke for about $160 for it to shoot trap with. i will soon get an extended rifled choke ~$50 new and some winchester dual bond sabot slugs for deer hunting, although i took a deer last year with the 18" bbl and a 3" 1oz remington slugger foster type slug.


basically 870s are like Legos. you can swap parts for any application you can think of with one gun.

The express tactical I'm looking at has has the ghost ring sight on the rear & a front sight that is the size & shape of a rifle sight, not just a bead. I would be able to remove the rear ghost, but, would this front sight be too big to look over while hunting small game?

I checked one out at the store today. The front bead & ghost ring rear would FORCE you to cheack up consistently. Maybe at the expense of quick target acqusition, but have to believe that shooting clays w/ a ghost ring then going back to a vent rib would improve your hitting ratio.
