Here is my HD version of my 870. (I also have a UTG Tactical pistol grip stock and 28" vent ribbed barrel).
The bayonet is really just for pictures and fun, it isn't on whenever I have the 870 under the bed or locked away.

Re: Pictures of your Remington 870 Shotgun
I like the HiViz. Did you remove the front bead?
Re: Pictures of your Remington 870 Shotgun
Nope, left it on, it helps me make sure it is aligned. However it is only useful with an actual stalk on. You cant really bring it that close to your face with the birds head.

Do you recall the model number and site or store where you picked it up? I would love to grab one myself.reeps wrote:Nope, left it on, it helps me make sure it is aligned. However it is only useful with an actual stalk on. You cant really bring it that close to your face with the birds head.

Re: Pictures of your Remington 870 Shotgun
It's the HIVIZ MPB LightPipe front optic sight. I have one for my bead-sight barrel as well, I just got it off the shelf of a local sporting-goods store. I had to modify it to fit around my magazine extension clamp and the bead sight pedestal on my Remington barrel.nbk13nw wrote:Do you recall the model number and site or store where you picked it up?

It's very visible, but the sight element sits lower than the stock bead on my Remington barrel. I was shooting high for a while until I figured out how to adjust for that. It also kind of flimsy, and tends to shift around under heavy-recoiling shells. If you want something really high-visibility for close-range point shooting in good light, it's a decent bang for the buck. If you want something more accurate though, I'd look elsewhere.

I have the Burris FastFire with mount for a red dot on my 870 but wanted something easier to aquire to replace the bead. This might be the ticket. Thanks!

I was looking at the XS Big Dot site as well. It fits over the existing bead. And is also good for low light / no light. Thank you again for the info.
Re: Pictures of your Remington 870 Shotgun
These things aren't that great as they move around frequently. Here is a pic of mine so you can see how I use the bead to try and keep it aligned.
The Bayonet is actually centered it just looks weird from that angle.
