Abstract

A sighting rib for a shotgun is mounted atop a barrel by means of structure carried at the muzzle and breach ends, respectively. The front mounting permits longitudinal movement but fixes the vertical position of the rib at one of a plurality of selected locations. The breach mounting provides vertical adjustment but restrains longitudinal movement of the rear end of the rib. The attitude of the sighting plane is adjustable through the mountings to fix the point of impact with respect to the point of aim at a selected distance.
