Dead Ringer Beard Buster Shotgun Sights DR4324

The Dead Ringer Beard Buster DR4324 is a shotgun sight designed for turkey, deer, and predator hunting. Its bright orange optical Lexan ghost ring provides a highly visible aiming reference while the circular ring can also help estimate turkey distance. When a turkey's head and neck fit inside the ring, the sight is designed to indicate an approximate 30-35 yard distance.

The Beard Buster uses a durable T-6 aircraft-grade aluminum base and an optical Lexan sight ring with large compass points for easy target acquisition. The sight is adjustable for windage and elevation and uses a universal mounting system for compatible vent-rib shotguns. Its defined sight picture can also help hunters establish a consistent shooting position and focus on the target.

Dead Ringer Beard Buster FAQ

What is the Dead Ringer Beard Buster used for?

The Beard Buster is designed primarily for turkey hunting, but it can also be used for deer and predator hunting. Its ghost ring sight picture provides a more defined aiming reference than a conventional shotgun bead.

How does the Dead Ringer Beard Buster sight work?

The Beard Buster uses a circular orange ring as the primary aiming reference. For turkey hunting, positioning the turkey's head and neck inside the ring provides an approximate 30-35 yard distance reference while also helping establish a consistent sight picture.

Is the Dead Ringer Beard Buster adjustable?

Yes. The Beard Buster is designed to provide windage and elevation adjustment. Adjustments should be made in small increments and confirmed by patterning the shotgun with the ammunition and choke you intend to use.

How do you adjust a Dead Ringer Beard Buster?

The rear sight can be repositioned to change the point of impact. Make small adjustments, then pattern the shotgun again to determine the effect on your point of impact. The exact adjustment procedure can vary depending on the shotgun and mounting configuration.

Does the Dead Ringer Beard Buster stay tight under recoil?

The Beard Buster attaches to the shotgun with mounting hardware rather than relying on a magnetic mount. Proper installation and tightening are important for keeping the sight securely positioned during recoil. Check the mounting screws periodically, particularly when using heavy turkey loads.

What size Allen wrench is used for the Dead Ringer Beard Buster?

The small rear-sight mounting screws use a 1.5 mm Allen wrench. Keep the appropriate wrench available when installing or adjusting the sight.

Does the Dead Ringer Beard Buster require gunsmithing?

The Beard Buster uses a universal mounting system designed for compatible vent-rib shotguns and is intended for straightforward installation. However, compatibility and mounting requirements vary between shotguns. Do not modify the shotgun or sight if the supplied hardware does not properly fit.

Will the Dead Ringer Beard Buster fit my shotgun?

The Beard Buster is designed for use on compatible vent-rib shotguns, but fit can depend on the rib width and shotgun configuration. Verify your shotgun's rib dimensions and the supplied mounting hardware before installation.

Can the Dead Ringer Beard Buster fix a shotgun that shoots high or low?

The Beard Buster provides windage and elevation adjustment that can help correct a shotgun's point of impact. The available adjustment is limited, however, so it may not compensate for a shotgun with a significant point-of-impact problem. Pattern the shotgun before and after adjustment to determine how much correction is needed.

Does the Beard Buster work in low light?

Yes. The optical Lexan orange ring is designed to remain highly visible in low-light conditions while providing a defined aiming reference. Actual visibility will depend on the available ambient light and shooting conditions.

Do you need to pattern a shotgun after installing the Beard Buster?

Yes. Pattern the shotgun after installation to confirm the point of impact and make any necessary adjustments. Use the same ammunition and choke combination you plan to use while hunting, since changing loads or chokes can change the point of impact.
