New Sights

[TrophyTracker]

These are the new sights I am going to be running on my Duck and Turkey guns. What do you think?

They are called the Dead Center sights. They are dual colored, having a solid fiber in the middle of a transparent outer fiber. There are different color combinations available. The turkey model has an adjustable rear sight.

The first one is the original, and the second one is the Mini.

I was checking those out the other day, I have a nice high viz sight on my SuperNova right now, I was wondering how those would look on the end of my gun. Could you post what your Benelli looks like with the rear sights on it? I haven't checked it out fully, do they offer one that fits the SuperNova?
Looks really nice on your gun, they are all magnetic correct? Are the rear sights magnetic as well if they are magnetic? Have you noticed an increase in POI? Do they offer a better front sight in your opinion and is it worth the money?
Thanks in Advance!

The bottom pic is on a Supernova. I don't have the rear sight yet as it is on back-order. The sent me the other models though. There is a Micro version(not pictured),that sits lower on the rib.POI is exactly where I want it to be, but with this gun, I could change shims if I needed to.

The Mini sight is not magnetic. It has a screw that replaces the factory bead. The other models are magnetic, but have double sided tape included that you could put on for a more permanant mount. The rear sight is attatched by a screw system much like the TruGLO Universal sight combo.

As far as a better sight, I think that while both Hi-Viz and TruGLO both make outstanding sights, the Limbsaver Mini, Original and Micro are in a class of their own. You can't go wrong with any of the three choices or manufacturers.

The Original is available at "The Mart" in Winchester packaging. Try it out and if you don't like it, you can take it back without much pain.

Chad, I know your a bow and shotgun guy but do you get down with rifles as well? If so since you are a LimbSaver Pro Staff I was wondering your take on the Barrel De-Resonators and if they are all that they say they are. I have a mean setup right now but if I could get my holes touching at 200 yards in 3 to 5 shot groups I would definitely check them out (Right now with no wind it is Sub MOA, right around 1/4" to 1/2" groups depending on the loads and environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, and oh yeah letting my gun cool between shots!).
P.S. What's up with the guy and like 20 of them on his gun? Is that necessary? Shouldn't 2 be enough? Here is the link to what I am talking about (He is at the bottom of the Pictures section) :

Thanks in Advance for your input.:D

The most I have run on my gun is two. They do work, but you have to play with the exact location on the BBL to get the maximum result. I have one on my Savage Bull BBL .17HMR, and it has that thing shooting the lights out at 150yds with Remington Accutips

That sounds like a great setup, I love bull bbl, especially free floaters. That is a Great caliber you are shooting, I am guessing you do some small game hunting down there in Florida. Fine choice on ammo too!
How much tinkering did you have to do? Does it come with very specific directions and tips? How do you know when you have found the ideal place...and please don't say the target...There has to be a way to know that they are in the sweet spots. It looked like there were measurements on the AD for them on the LimbSaver Website, but sounds like you need to be slightly more precise for optimal results.
Thanks for the feedback.

About two inches from the front of the forearm tip seems to be the place that works best in not only my .17, but on my '06 as well. I am running one on my pump Carbine, and not only does it look insane, but it has been throwing some Hornady SST's pretty insane too! And by insane, I mean Micky Mouse ears at the 12 on the bullseye!

Hahaha. That's great! Good Looking out! Man I need to stop talking to you, you get me to buy just about everything from every company that sponsors you.
I should be a Pro Field Tester, heck I put just about every GOOD Product through He!! and Back! But no one gives me their products to torture.haha that is probably why, it gets tortured.
So far all my field test have had QB calls hold up to the treatment, with the exception of the HEX Ridge Runner! There is always one product I can destroy or just can't make it to where I hunt without dying on the way!
Sitka....That is another story...and the others well...I will talk about it someday...Lets just say there is a trail of dead hunting gear/guns/products/accessories in my past!

I know what you mean. My workshop looks like some kind of out of business hunting shop from the mid '90s. I have more extra,leftover, and well used gear than a small Gander Mtn. I honestly believe I have more stuff than the closest Dick's Sporting Goods store, and none of it came from my sponsors! This is stuff that I have bought over the years in persuit of "The Ultimate"!

HAHAHAHA. Yeah I am feeling you on that one, so isn't my bank account:p. The only thing that I can say I love about having it around is that I can get people into the outdoors, given they are close to my size (when it comes to clothes), without them having to make any purchases (with the exception of ammo and clays if we are going to run through a bunch...but even then I usually buy).
Never having to worry about it getting messed up is cool and the gear is really good (I rarely Cheap out- unless it is something that is easy to make at home or at my Dad's Shop), it just couldn't keep up with me...haha. That gear is more than enough and than some for the people I am introducing to outdoor sports like hunting and shooting. You just won't ever see me lend them my Sitka :D

[TrophyTracker]

About the only thing I loan are turkey vests, because I have nine of them. Other than that, they're on their own!

[FlHunter23]

Let me borrow that supernova. :D

[TrophyTracker]

You know what Sam, I may just do that. If you want to go run around the swamp after some Woody's with me one day soon, I'll switch with you, and let you try it out.

I was just messing with ya. I generally go by the rule of, if i cant afford to replace it i dont borrow it. Saves me some headaches.

You don't have to worry about breaking a SuperNova...Chances are it would break your arm before it ever failed (J/K)! Take him up on it!!!!!!!!!:D
