I have a 20 gauge youth 120 Ranger with a 22" plain barrel with winchoke. It is throwing a great pattern with multiple shells and chokes. Problem is I don't want a scope but it's consistently high with every combination. High as in 7-8" high. I shot Apex 9s, Longbeard 6s and Heavyweight 7s. Is there any other adjustable sight options for a plain barrel other than a saddle mount and scope/red dot? TIA

Look at the Williams Firesight or Ghost Ring.

Take it to a gunsmith and have them solder on rifle sights

Sorrry I guess I didn't see the plain barrel (no rib). Gunsmith is a good idea and maybe have drilled/tapped for a weaver mount & red dot.
How accurate can u get w just the bead. Lots of birds died to a bead sight befor all the hype

Other than that it's a throwing a great pattern. Maybe something else wrong...bent barrel maybe? I reckon I'll take it to the gunsmith or not hunt with it. Haven't used it in almost 30 years.

You need a higher front bead. It might just unscrew. Or call or e-mail winchester and they should know how to do it. If it shoots as good as you say, ain't no way it's gathers dust in a corner !!!! It's probably a five minute fix. Hope it works for you and you kill a big tom with it.
