Depends on the ammo you're using and that depends on the terrain you're on. Also makes a difference how much you practice.
The factory rifle sights are the same crappola sights they put on their low end rifles. Not made for speed. A bead is made for speed, but aiming by pointing. Even with the slug you really shouldn't use for SD anyway.
Oh and a Ghost Ring is a rifle sight. It's just a large aperture peep sight.
"...not even that..." Shot bowling pins, etc with my 870 with no sights for years. As long as you know where it shoots, it works well. Still requires aiming though.
