Do I need special sights to shoot slugs?

Question

I bought a Maverick By Mossberg Model 88 Field shotgun and i had read that you should put special sights on it. Is this necessary and and if so is there removeable ones available so that i can hunt dove too?

Answer 1

If I was assaulted by harsh regulations and had to use a slug gun on deer, I would mount a non-magnifying red dot sight on it! Regards, Larry.

Answer 2

If you have a 18.5" barrel you can get a gunsmith to install a set of ghost rings on the barrel. Great for shooting slugs, but can be costly

Answer 3

You dont HAVE to have iron sights or a scope to shoot slugs, you can do it with the plain old bead sight on your shotty, but it is easier for sure if you have proper sights. I dont know about sights that can be removed, but you can pick up smoothbore slug barrels that have really nice iron sights on them for pretty cheap.

Answer 4

rifle sights are for slug guns.Yes, there are removable sights.
