I have a Mossy 590A1 with ghost rings and generally like the gun... except for the ghost rings.

I bought the gun on the advice of certain tactical centric personalities, but have sincerely come to resent the sight recommendation.

It renders the gun almost useless for skeet shooting or any type of rabbit hunting.

Sure the sights are good for slugs if that's your game, but the barrel is not rifled so there's better for that.

I'd recommend that you forget about ghost rings, get a front bead, but make sure the receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope rail. (like the 1301) Then you can add some sort of red dot sight for slugs, or take it off and use the bead for fast movers.

My all time favorite shotgun is outside your price range and that's the 24" Beretta 1301. I recommend that you save up for a 1301 and you wont regret it.

You can't quad load the 590 but you can with the 1301... big time.

I hate the sights on the Black Water version. Stupid addition to that SG imo.

There are so many "tactical centric personalities" today it's become a joke. Very few I pay attention to for advice.

Simple bead, XS big dot, Wilson Combat GR's and rifle sights are the only SG sights to bother with imo. Red dots & scopes are a different conversation.
