I noticed some of the tactical versions have the ghost ring and pic rail, mine does not. Who sells this set up so I can add to mine?

If you are firm on your decision to put a red dot and ghost things there is several ways to go about doing it. You can attach a rail to the top of your reciever and then just by a rd and a set of ghost rings. Mesa tactical also sells a sidesaddle with a rail that sits over your receiver. You're going to have install a front site for the ghost rings and the rings themselves aren't going to be cheap. Unless you really know you want a red dot and rings I'd just stay with a bead.

Why not add a red dot?

Beads are great for pointing, but suck for putting slugs on target at distance.

Ghost ring/rifle sights are great at putting slugs on target at distance, but suck for pointing.

Red dots are great for putting slugs on target at distance and great for pointing.

What's not to like??

Here is a no gunsmithing method:



If you have a wingmaster there is a pict rail that screws on the rib, the express rib is too coarse to fit.

I can point an 870 just fine Shooting 870

But if adding a red dot is like cheating, then I want to see how much better cheating is
