HiViz BD1008R Spark II Red Fiber Optic Front Sight Universal

The HiViz BD1008R Spark II transforms dim factory sights into bright, fast-acquiring targets with its red fiber optic technology. This universal replacement front sight delivers consistent light gathering performance across varying conditions. Standard bead sights often disappear in low light or against busy backgrounds, forcing shooters to waste precious seconds searching for proper alignment.

What Makes This Different

The Spark II system captures available light through its red fiber optic rod, creating a bright aiming point that remains visible in dawn, dusk, and overcast conditions. Unlike painted dots or basic metal beads that rely solely on contrast, the fiber optic design actively channels ambient light to the shooter's eye. The universal threading fits most shotgun barrels without requiring gunsmith modifications or specialized tools.

Key Features

• Red fiber optic rod provides bright, consistent sight picture in varying light conditions
• Universal threading system fits standard shotgun front sight bases
• Durable black finish resists wear and corrosion during field use
• Low-profile design maintains proper sight radius and balance
• Easy installation requires only basic tools and minutes to complete
• Replaceable fiber optic element extends service life

Field performance shows marked improvement in target acquisition speed, particularly during transitional lighting periods when game activity peaks. The bright red dot stands out against natural backgrounds while maintaining subtlety that won't spook wary targets. Weather resistance testing confirms the sight maintains brightness through rain, snow, and temperature extremes. Competition shooters report faster sight alignment on clay targets, while hunters appreciate the enhanced visibility during legal shooting hours.
