Reviews & Ratings for Meprolight Tru-Dot Shotgun Night Sights for Mossberg Shotguns — 27 reviews — Page 1

I mounted this on a Mossberg 590A1 until I have time to mount a more permanent solution. This does not co-witness, but you can still pick it up. Meprolight makes solid equipment.

This sight does not have a post to screw into the barrel hole. Designed for a rail with a flat mounting surface.

Great sight for the money, shows up well. Use a little red Loctite when installing and positioning it.

Shows up well in low to no light situations, really helps with target acquisition.

This sight showed up and after much excitement, my gunsmith took on the task of installing. After numerous modifications to the sight it still protruded through the end of the barrel and did not fit right. It simply doesn't line up. This is 100% not a replacement part. This is a waste of money and you are better of with a HIVIZ system. I will be looking to return this item and hopefully receive a refund. If you are looking at this as a replacement for the bronze bead on your Mossberg 500, look elsewhere.

After reading the reviews I thought it was a safe bet, so I purchased three. I should have just stayed with the bead sight and saved my time and money. I expect better quality from Meprolight. I thread the front sight on with ease and went to make sure the sight was straight and lined up on the firearm. I then realized that the front sight was spinning freely. So I unthreaded the sight and check the my inside diameter thread no problem there. So I check the outside diameter thread on the sight and the threading located closes to the base of the front sight is none existent. So if you want to spend $30+ on a shotgun sight, install it and realize it's a piece of junk and that it will most like fly off the end of your shotgun once fired then have to take the time to remove the sight and replace it back with the original bead sight then this is the sight for you. The one star is for the tritium by the way.

It needs a little bit of TLC when installing, some lock tight to keep it in line as it will over turn in alignment, no problem though, I put it on my 930 breacher barrel, used a little lock tight to keep it in-line, cured over night and I’m pleased with the sight, especially the minimal cost,

This is a high quality product and works great (with caveat). So I bought the one that sits higher with a dovetail mount, but my Mossy has the front bead sight. I really wanted THIS sight, so I did some modification (knowing that this would void warranty) as follows: Drill hole in bottom center (Meprolight) just large enough to accept the round bead and deep enough to equal the distance between top of bead and surface of barrel. Next drill counter sink just wide and deep enough in the base of the first hole to allow for the hex/nut portion of the base of the bead. The sight should now sit on top of the bead sight and flush with the barrel. Degrease work area. Apply liberal amount of epoxy to inside of hole and outside of existing bead sight and assemble. Note- Do not remove bead sight, leave on barrel and retrofit. ONLY drill holes just large enough for your mod as there is very little clearance in the sight post for slop or you risk weakening the sight/breaching the outer surface of it. That said, this sight works great and I am happy with it!

I didn’t like the brass bead sight that came on my shotgun which offered no low light use whatsoever. This sight is very low profile compared to other replacement sights I looked into. Installation was super easy. This sight is really small and can potentially be lost easily if your not paying attention or clumsy.

Put on my mossberg shockwave. Very easy installation. Does not glow as much as others I have, must be a dud. Overall good sight easy to line up and snug up with needle nose pliers.would recommend but in the future I will check the manufacturer date before install
