Ok guys I've always been partial to a bead on a shotgun but my latest 870 SM shoots Low / Left fairly sufficient also. I have put Williams fire sights on it but I'm just not in love with them. Anyone that's gone thru this and found something they like please let me know, I've been looking at the Burris fast fire but opening to looking at anything

I always liked a single bead until my older eyes couldn't see it clearly on my short barrel turkey gun. I do OK on a 24" or longer but I love to hunt with the 21" barrel. I'd put a red dot on it.

I decided to switch to a red dot sight this year. I tried the redfield accelerator, but ended up taking it back an getting a ff3. I have not hunted with it yet, but sighting in was a breeze.

I've been looking at the fast fire 3 mostly. Correct me if I'm wrong but it can be mounted on a rail or on the speed bead system correct?

bushnell trs-25, great red dot;I have 3 of them. Cant beat them for the $. Look up the reviews on it. It could be mounted on a saddle mount if your not drilled and tapped.

Bushnell TRS 25 great little red dot for the money. You can pick one up for around 80 to 100 dollars off amazon

Mr. jonhaga,
What you need is a drink to calm your nerves before taking to the field each morning. Helps you see more clearly. Haha, listen to these guys and they will hook you up.

Buy once, cry once--get the FF3. I wish I did. Its been years but my first was a Truglo that needed sent back. 2nd is a FF2 which gives me no problems.
