Just a minor thing that has kinda bugged me. The sight rail on the O/U shotguns. I don't really care for how it looks especially when aiming, also it doesn't even hold the sight if you decide to use it. In my mind the gun would look a lot nicer and more realistic without it. Am I alone with this? 😅
#Remove the rail from O/U shotguns
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Someone please do this, it just makes the gun harder to use for bird hunting now
Makes the surroundings hard to see especially for a lower level that has the blur on the sides
please keep the tritium front bead tho, with the rail gone it'd be much more helpful
that rail is the only reason I don’t use the over under
it makes it harder to aim and it looks awful
Yes. But you see the Pump action 12 gauge removes the rail when the scope is unequipped. Same with M1 Garand. So i dont understand whats so different with O/U
It's also a base game shotgun, just the same as the 12ga, but the rail is still there.
EW, You got it right with ALL the dlc shotguns, so why is the Caversham over/under STILL the stuck with a rail? Shotguns do not need rear sights, only a bead.
the only shotguns that really have rear sights irl are tactical shotguns, rifled slug shotguns, and turkey shotguns
there's only a handful of "tactical" over/unders, the caversham and gamekeeper ain't those
I’m just saying for shotguns in general
I’m pretty sure there’s only one tactical over under out there
Stoeger's? It's the only one i know
yeah
this is how the 12 O/U shotgun should look when you ads (the second picture should be the new Hi-viz tritium sight for the O/U shotgun. a red/green dot put on the iron sight grain)
man I wish I had an over under
you got semi auto?
pump
So that rail isn't actually used for the red dot for some reason
I was about to make this post. O/U shotguns are so elegant looking and that stupid scope rail really ruins it. I've been using the SxS shotguns from the goose chase dlc instead, but I really want to use the gamekeeper shotgun when upland hunting. Not having the open sights on this shotgun is just silly at this point. Come on EW.
sorry but this is really needed
The rail disturbs me a lot and makes fatal bird and duck hunting for me.
i own an over and under and i would love to use it in game but the scope rail just ruins the gun.
Can't be that much work to take the rail off, it's been done with more complicated weapons
The base sight is only usable with slugs at close range. If you wanna try to hit anything moving good luck. We definitely need to get rid of that rail
Well this is fact, it'd by my go to upland gun if it didn't have that stupid rail. The Gamekeeper 12ga is my favorite shotgun in the game too
We should probably bring this up on stream tbh. It’s such a simple change.
So weird too, why would a shotgun actually need a rear sight? All it does is get in the way
Slugs
Okay, how about the pump shotgun with actual sights rather than the over under with an obnoxious rail for slug hunting
Again. Slugs. Those sights actually work well for buckshot. Although i believe a front bead and a vent rib would be better such as on the semi auto 10gauge. Or if we could swap out different types of iron sights that could solve the issue too
Or a combat style with a rear peep sight and front sight post. Would look similar to the 303
What I'm saying is if someone actually put in the work ti unlock the slugs and scope am they'd probably be using the pump action. It makes no sense to leave the scope rail on the over under when there's no scope there and it's the only weapon done that way. I know it was for buckshot but a bead sight still makes way more sense considering how close you have to be with the buckshot to be effective.
I hate this, it completely ruins it
I was referring to the sights on the pump being better for buckshot. The current one on the o/u is only really good for slugs or stationary rabbits/turkey
You did it!
Yay 😄
Wrong position of sight in COTW
