I mounted a Fast Fire using a SpeedBead on a 26" camo 3" 870 that had been my duck gun. I can see the entire barrel and the mid and front beads with the red dot just above the front bead when sighted. I DO NOT LIKE IT! It's very confusing looking and I wonder am I seeing the whole barrel because the Speedbead mounts even lower than if you drilled and tapped the receiver or would you still see the metal sights too? If I would still see the metal sights and barrel with the FastFire 3 is there a similar red dot with just enough magnification that you see nothing?
Also what was the shotgun that would get 3" Federal Tungsten jammed because the shell came from the factory a bit too long causing ejection problems?
I want to take this sight off my duck gun a get a dedicated 20 gauge for turkey with a 24", but would like to see nothing but a red dot out in space when I aim if that's possible
I have never used that Burris sight. I bought a rib mount so that I would not see barrel. Sumtoy makes a excellent low receiver mount as well . Not real sure if there is anything you can do with current set up but hopefully you are able to get it to your satisfaction.

That rib mount has a better a cleaner view in my opinion. So just so I understand this.............everyone that mounts a FastFire to the receiver sees the barrel? And nobody makes a similar sight with just enough magnification to get you out past the front bead and see a clear picture? Why not?
You focus on the target you will not see the bead.
I think i understand what you are saying i put black tape over my front sight so i cannot see it . I use a burris ff3
Take the front bead off. The situation you were askin about is some of the Federal 3" 20ga. TSS loads would get hung upon ejection because they are a touch too long ,and the shotguns were the Franchi Affinity 3 and the Benelli M2. My Stoeger M3020 hasn't had any of those problems and I hope it doesn't.
