Here's mine, 870 compact with the usual stuff. I shot heavyweights thru it last year with a ssx choke. This year with the tss I took a tightwad ($9 on clearance at Wally) and done some custom wire edm work to it that I hope will be nasty. Guy I work with competition shoots dots and designed the grooves in it.

Mine is a Remington 870 Express 20 gauge with a polished barrel and a drilled and tapped receiver, a Mueller Quick-Shot red-dot sight mounted on a picatinny rail, custom 3D camouflage and a hand woven paracord sling.

I really like that Bottomland camo on your gun. That Weatherby SA-459 20 gauge is one sweet gun.

How does that Speedbead work for you?

I got the same question. Was looking at one of those because mounting a FFIII on a rail has its drawbacks. The top of my 1187 is so thin that the gunsmith said he uses JB Weld in addition to drilling and tapping. But my POI is about 8 inches below my POA (with open sights) so I felt that the FFIII might sit a little higher on a rail than on the speed bead which would help me zero the FFIII better.

Shot the gun with the Speedbead for the first time this week. All I can say is that so far I love it. The dot just jumps onto your field of vision when you shoulder the gun, additionally I can still use the bead if something weird goes on with the FF (forget to turn it on?). Just FYI, Burris does not make a Speedbead for most 20 gauge guns. My gunsmith took on for a 12 gauge and machined it down to fit stock/receiver. I had to do some gap filling on backside above stock to ensure the sight is not gonna rock or move any when gun is fired. So far I am more than pleased.
