"SeeAll Open Sight with an Optical Advantage"

#1 Post by Lurchermiss »

Just received today a "SeeAll Open Sight with an Optical Advantage" for My Mossberg 590 shotgun. There is a good article on sight in the May Gunmart edition. So good I actually ordered same after reading it, something I would not normally do without seeing it. As the article says it is very well made and it looks good too. Will try it out tomorrow if weather OK and post own review.

I'm sorry to tell you that the See-All is absolutely the wrong sight for a shotgun, unless you are using it for slow deliberate shots with slugs.
I have one of these sights, see my review here:

The best use I can see for that sight is:

1) A back-up rugged low light sight. It's very tough and likely to last a long time with no maintenance and no battery required.
2) A working sight for a slow firing weapon such as a crossbow.

Aye, well, in the main Gun Mart isn't known for its meaningful and objective shooting journalism and reviews.

There aren't any ads for the sight in that issue perchance?

Tried one on a .22 semi and didn't quite get on with it.
The owner managed to score 2nd fastest time on the mini-rifle match so reckon they do work, just like anything takes getting used to and practice.

I have to say that so far it seems to be OK and I am hitting more with it than I did without it. I should also mention that I am new to shotguns, but certainly not rifles. On rifles I like open sights and am a very good shot with them. All my rifles apart from one have scopes. I would not put a SeeAll sight on a rifle, but only because I prefer normal open sights. One person on a reply mentioned that on a pistol the magnified image is too large. I would tend to agree although I do not shoot pistols. The answer I would think would be for the manufacturers to reduce the magnification prism! I do not regret buying it and will see how I get on with it longer term.
