Reviews & Ratings for Trijicon Bright & Tough RE04 Remington Night Sights for Remington Shotguns 870, 1100 & 1187 — 18 reviews — Page 1

These sights are terrific, they provide excellent target acquisition in low-light conditions. Had professional gun-smith preform installation, it's well worth the additional cost, and now my Remington 870 Tactical Shotgun is perfect.

A really great sight combination for my shotgun. Easy to see and acquire in low light.
Unless your really good with a drill or drill press you will need a gunsmith to install the properly.
Highly recommended!

I have been using Trijicon products for years. The fit and finish on the ghost ring sight is superb. Trijicon products are a hallmark of quality. This particular sight was also highly recommended by my gunsmith.

Great sights. I installed them last week on an 870 Tactical (the one with the long mag tube) and just shot with it today. I was only shooting at 25 yards, but it was right on target, after using a bore sight to set them up.

Instructions were not included, but I found many links to the Wilson Combat version of them, which is the same sight. I used the measurements given of 5.885" from the front of the receiver for the front hole, and 1.450" behind that for the rear hole, and the sight is right on. I did not have problems with the rear hole, it went into plenty of steel. Don't attempt this without a drill press and vise. And even then, you need to use some deep center punch marks due to the angle for the rear hole.

Ensure that you get a tap before you start. 6x40 shouldn't be hard to find. I could not find one locally, but perhaps surprisingly my local Ace had the #33 drill bit. I mail ordered the tap. Be sure to get tap oil unless you already have some, to prevent galling when cutting the fine threads.

The front sight bead platform on my barrel was off-center from the factory. Ensure that yours is centered before gluing the front sight on, or you won't be very happy with the results. I ground a bit off one side of the bead platform, until the new sight sat straight, then glued it on.

The front sight is very bright and easy to see in the dark, but the rear dots are very small and not very bright. If you're worried about too much light on the rear sight, that's ...

nice low profile , very bright worth the money
Pros: low profile
Cons: price

If you have or plan on installing a pistol grip stock to your shotgun this is the sight to go with. The green rear sight is not over powering in the dark. I also recommend having your gunsmith drill and roll pin the front sight if possible. Be safe, have fun!
Pros: Fast, clean sight
Cons: Recommend Gunsmith installation

Trijicon Remington Green Front & Green Ghost Ring Rear Night Sight Set is easy to install and use. The sites hold up very well during indoor and outdoor use.
Pros: Ease of installation and use

Work better in low-light than total darkness with a lack of ambient light source. Still obviously usable in the daytime as iron sights.
Pros: great for low-light
Cons: yellow is somewhat dim.

Sights are very strong, but require professional installation. Best sight for the money out there.
Pros: Great sight picture
Cons: Installation requires gun smith

Overall this sight is just what I hoped for. I read many reviews and settled on Trijicon green dot ghost ring sights. I had it installed and I am very happy with the speed that I can aquire a target. The rear dots are a little small and dim but they are adequate and not distracting from the front sight, which is the important one.
Pros: Fast on the target
Cons: Dim and small rear dots
