I was wandering over on Gunspot BB's shotgun area, this one moderated my Randy Cain of Cumberland Tactics (had a short version of a class of his BTW, excellent instructor). He sort of went to ghost rings because he thought it was the thing (like I did or do) but likes something different, a big post type set up. He said he had a Novak pistol sight put in the front dove tail of the rifle sighted 870, then "opened up" the rear notch a bit. I'm guessing a few strokes with a file could do it. This sounds like a plan! I don't have any more info on how or how much he filed off of the rear leaf, but you could file and try until it suits your eyes.
