I am currently trying to get into shotgunning and trying to determine if I have a hardware issue (sights) or a software issue (me).
I have a 590A1 with ghost ring sights (factory front, Aimpro rear) and 20" barrel. The sights sit fairly high over the bore. At 40 yards I am at the very top of my elevation adjustment. This bugs me. I shoot using the tip of the front blade ala AR-15.
I am wondering with my sight height over bore if I am doing it wrong. Is there a BZO distance? Am I too close? Too far? I was thinking of ordering a Big Dot front sight replacement but am concerned about the height. Or should I just shave the front sight a little at a time until I'm happy?
Or is something blatantly obvious and I am just being dense?
ETA: Also looking for a decent light mount. I have the Magpul fore end, dunno how I feel about mounting to it, or a barrel/mag clamp mount. Pros/cons? I see a lot of people mount TLR-1's but am concerned with the rocker switch about accidental activation via bumps etc.
