Here is the situation: I use one shotgun, Mossberg 12 GA pump, for all my shotgun needs (social work, birds, small game, slug gun etc.) For short range work, I've been reasonably happy with just a bead sight. However, I would like to mount a red dot or fiber optic sights in order to be able to accurately place slugs at longer ranges.
I'm sure a new sight would enhance the accuracy potential for buckshot, slugs, and small game/turkey hunting, however, I'm concerned that mounting a red dot/fiber optic sight will diminish the guns ability to be used for wing shooting. Does anybody have experience /recommendations on this issue? Perhaps the smartest thing to do is have one wingshooting barrel and one 20 in. barrel with a red dot sight.
Also, what would you estimate the maximum effective range for unrifled slug shooting on a silhouette target is?
Thanks
