DCV, i use peep sights on my HD and deer 870s. Unscrewing the aperture makes it a "Ghost Ring" sight. These are Williams and Lyman peeps, sturdy and durable.

Since Md deer hunting tends to be close shots in thick cover, I sight in at 50 yards. Typical groups with slugs of choice at that distance run about 2 1/2" with either one.

Anything much over 50 yards, I'll reach for a rifle. The right tool for the right job.
