sights 870 express

[BCboy]

I am looking at an 870 express , I was looking at the 20 " deer gun with rifle sights or the 18" synthetic with 5 shot ext ,vent rib and beed sight . will be using it mainly for plinkin at the range with buck shot or camp gun , not hunting .
what would you suggest and why?

Bead sights.

Trying to sight in "rifle sights" on a shotgun with a smooth barrel is futile.

Bead sights are also much quicker for trap/skeet shooting and it's one less thing to break or snag on things.

Just my opinion. I always go for the bead (or hiviz front).

Not true, you have to practice.

I have and use a 20" smoothie with rifle sights and am quite fast.

as I said - practice and more practice.
