OK so I put a speedbead fastfire 3 on my benelli sbe 1. Everything tight! Shot 5-7 longbeards xrs and I could wiggle the sight! Took gun apart and the metal bracket of the speedbead is loose. All screws tight. But I can still wiggle it. Not real happy about it. Am I missing something here?
I had same problems, but instead of it getting really loose it just got loose enough that I kept losing zero. Sold it, did a drill and tap and never looked back.
Did you tighten the screw that bottoms out on the stock? I had missed that when I messed around with the Speed Bead and got frustrated and took mine off only to realize that I had not tightened the set screw that puts pressure on the but stock.

mount it to the top of the gun on a base and go have fun.

I tried the speedbead as well as a couple of my buddies. We done everything we could think of to get them to hold zero and it never worked... We just gave up messing with them.
1) send to sumtoy
2) have him drill and tap reciever
3) have him install his mount
4) install ff2/ff3/vortex venom
5)sight in (optional but extremely recommended sumtoy choke)
6) wait on season
7) call in bird
8) shoot bird
To be honest I have never messed with a speed bead mount I about went that direction until I read way too many mixed reviews and once I seen it I said that thing is a floppy joppy. Just my personal opinion. I do believe the sumtoy mount to be the best available in the industry tho!
