What are you guys running for optics?I'm wanting to get a red dot or holographic sight for my Winchester sxp and wanted some insight on what some good options are. Preferably something that will last for a long time. Thanks

After doing a lot of research and reading, I settled on the Burris Fastfire III.  I have been well pleased with it.  Running it on a benelli 20 gauge M1 with the mounts from William at Sumtoy chokes.

Two Vortex Venoms. One Fastfire II.

Robust, reliable,  performance AImpoint would be a first choice or the Trijicon rmr as a second choice.

The eotech is a fantastic site. Most others I've heard real good things about too. From first hand experience except the fastfire 3. It was terrible. Took forever to get battery screwed in. After 2 shots it fell back out. The dot wasn't a dot but a comet running through the lens at an angle. Took it back off gun and returned it within hours.
Guys that have it great, I'm just giving you a heads up

Trijicon RMR and Sig  red dot have both performed very well.

Started with the factory bead. Then added a set of rifle type sights. Then progressed to a low power shotgun scope. And finally settled with the Burris FF III. Don't know how I could go back to anything else at this point.

Easy to change the battery with the FF III. Low profile design. Several different power settings...from auto to a few different brightness settings to dial in what you like.

Only regret is not using the Sumtoy mount. I went with a different mount. If the sight ever has to come off for whatever reason, a Sumtoy mount will be added.

I thought I was the only one.  Love the sunshade.  I had birds spook from the glare off a TRS 25 and won't be running one like that again.
