Burris Speed Bead

Anyone use one of these.  Like to put some time of optic on my M1 90.

Yes, I've used one on my 870 SM for years now. Love it!

Got a Speed Bead on my primary turkey gun, a SBE II.  I haven't missed since I added it.  I love the low profile and the fact that it doesn't throw the balance of the gun off.  I had a conventional red dot on my old SBE, but it was bulky and in the way.  It also ate batteries up.  I've had the FF ii on a Speed Bead mount for 6 years and have only needed to replace the battery once.  I hate they don't make a Speed Bead mount to fit a 20 gauge 870, because I really don't want to drill & tap may Grandad's old Wingmaster.

I put one on my Benelli M1 20 gauge this year.  Had to get it drilled and tapped and got the mount from Sumtoy.  Because of this forum I decided on the Burris FF3.. I zeroed it in using regular shells at 15 yards, then 20 yards, then 30 and 40 with turkey loads.

Thanks for the feedback.  Looks like Im going to give one a try. 

By the way does this mount have to be married with a Burris Sight?

I had the mount originally on my sbe2 but i dont like it. If you remove the barrel for cleaning you will lose zero, where as if you mount it to the receiver you won't
