The XS Sights SG20033 Big Dot Front Sight transforms target acquisition speed for Remington shotgun users through its oversized tritium dot design. This front sight replaces factory bead sights with a self-illuminating tritium insert that maintains visibility in complete darkness for over 12 years.
What Makes This Different
The Big Dot design features a significantly larger sight picture than standard bead sights, measuring 0.188 inches in diameter compared to typical 0.125-inch beads. The green tritium insert with white outline ring creates maximum contrast against dark backgrounds while the oversized profile allows faster sight alignment under stress. This configuration reduces sight acquisition time by approximately 30% compared to traditional bead sights.
Key Features
- Self-illuminating green tritium insert with 12+ year lifespan
- White outline ring for enhanced daylight visibility and contrast
- 0.188-inch diameter Big Dot for rapid target acquisition
- Machined steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
- Direct replacement for factory Remington front bead sights
- No gunsmithing required for installation on most models
- Maintains zero point of impact when replacing factory sights
The SG20033 excels in low-light hunting scenarios, home defense situations, and competitive shooting where speed matters. The tritium insert eliminates the need for external light sources during dawn and dusk hunting periods. Law enforcement agencies report improved hit ratios in reduced visibility conditions when officers transition from bead to Big Dot configurations. The sight maintains its luminosity in temperatures from -40°F to 160°F without degradation.
