Description
The Hi-Viz S200-R is the no-frills way to put a bright fiber-optic dot on the front of your shotgun. It's the ultra-narrow member of the S-Series magnetic lineup, built for ribs measuring .171 to .265 inches (that's 11/64 to 17/64, or 4.2mm to 6.7mm for the metric crowd). The whole idea here is simplicity: a red LitePipe pre-installed in a compact base that snaps into place and gathers ambient light so your eye finds the bead faster in low light, at dawn, dusk, or under heavy tree cover.
What the S200-R Fits
This one is aimed squarely at the guns running skinny ribs. Think Beretta 686 and 687 models with the ultra-narrow rib, plus the AL390, A304, and 391 Urika Field. It also lines up with Browning's Gold Series and the 28-gauge and .410 Citori, Sig SA-3 Hunter and SA-5 Upland, and 20-gauge Benelli field guns. If you're not sure your rib falls in the range, measure the width across the top before ordering, since the ultra-narrow base won't seat right on a wider rib.
Snap-On Install, Zero Tools
The rare-earth magnet does all the work. You set the base over your rib where the factory bead sits, and it clamps down tight enough to hold through 12-gauge recoil on a standard steel vent rib. Owners who've run these for years report they don't budge and stay put shot after shot. No screws, no drilling, no trip to the gunsmith, and it pulls off just as easily if you want to swap it between guns. One thing worth knowing: the sight rides a touch taller than a standard bead, which many folks actually use to their advantage for adjusting point of impact.
Red LitePipe, What You See Is What You Get
The S-Series is the budget-friendly branch of the Hi-Viz magnetic family, so the red LitePipe is fixed rather than interchangeable. If you already know red is your color against green fields and clay targets, you're set. The pipe pulls in available light to throw a crisp, glowing reference that's easy to pick up fast, and it's backed by Hi-Viz's limited lifetime warranty on the base and housing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the S200-R magnetic sight fit my shotgun's rib?
The S200-R is the ultra-narrow size, made for ventilated ribs from .171 to .265 inches wide (4.2mm to 6.7mm). It's a natural match for guns like the Beretta 686/687 ultra-narrow rib, AL390, 391 Urika Field, Browning Gold Series, the 28-gauge and .410 Citori, Sig SA-3/SA-5, and 20-gauge Benelli field models. Measure the width across the top of your rib before ordering to make sure it lands in that range.
Does the magnetic base actually stay on under recoil?
On a standard steel vent rib it holds tight through 12-gauge recoil, and long-time owners report it doesn't shift or fall off shot after shot. The one thing to keep in mind is that ported barrels can be tricky, since blast near the ports can work a magnetic sight loose if it sits too close. On a typical solid steel rib you shouldn't have any trouble.
Can I swap the red LitePipe for a green one later?
No, and that's by design. The S-Series is Hi-Viz's most economical magnetic line, so the red LitePipe is fixed rather than interchangeable. If you want to change colors down the road, the M-Series ships with multiple green and red pipes you can rotate.
Does this sit higher than my factory bead?
Yes, the S200-R rides a little taller than a standard front bead. Plenty of hunters use that extra height on purpose to nudge their point of impact, but it's worth being aware of if you're used to a low bead. Give it a few rounds on patterning paper to see how your gun shoots with it installed.
