Dead Ringer Beard Buster Shotgun Sights DR4324

The Dead Ringer Beard Buster DR4324 is a front and rear shotgun sight system designed for turkey, deer, and predator hunting. Its bright orange optical Lexan ghost ring provides a highly visible aiming reference while the circular sight picture gives turkey hunters a useful visual reference for estimating 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 T-6 aircraft-grade aluminum base, a universal mounting system for compatible vent-rib shotguns, and a rear sight that can be adjusted for windage and elevation. The compass-point ring provides a defined sight picture that can help establish consistent sight alignment and target acquisition.

Dead Ringer Beard Buster for Turkey Hunting

The Beard Buster is primarily designed for turkey hunting. Its circular orange rear sight gives the shooter a defined aiming reference around the turkey's head and neck rather than relying on a conventional front bead alone. The ring also provides an approximate 30-35 yard distance reference when the turkey's head and neck fill the sight picture.

The adjustable rear sight allows the shooter to establish the desired point of impact after installation. As with any shotgun sight, the shotgun should be patterned with the ammunition and choke combination intended for hunting.

Shotgun Compatibility and Mounting

The Beard Buster uses a universal mounting system designed for compatible vent-rib shotguns. Rib dimensions and front-bead configurations can vary between shotgun models, so verify your shotgun before purchasing or installing the sight.

Use our shotgun rib width reference to help identify your shotgun's rib dimensions. Our shotgun front bead thread reference can help identify factory front-bead thread specifications where applicable.

Installing the Dead Ringer Beard Buster

The Beard Buster front sight replaces the factory front bead while the rear sight clamps to the shotgun's vent rib using the appropriate mounting components. Installation and hardware requirements can vary by shotgun.

For detailed instructions covering factory bead removal, front-sight installation, rear-sight installation, rib mounting, and sight adjustment, see our Dead Ringer shotgun sight installation guide.
