Optic for Benelli M2

[Life of Riley]

Hey everybody,

I purchased my first shotgun in October before a duck trip out west. It is a benelli M2 12ga 28" and for now it is my do all gun. I shoot a lot of trap, 5 stand, and some duck/pheasants with it. Is there an option to mount a reflex sight by taking the butt stock off and mounting bergen that and the receiver? I'm trying to jog my memory on the subject. I'm going after turkeys in 3 weeks and was thinking of trying something other than a bead.

Burris speed bead yes. It's what I use on both my Benellis

Is the speed bead the mount, the optic, or both?

Speed bead is the mount. Fastfire 2 or 3 on top of it. I think the vortex fits it as well though

What MOA did you go with on the fast fire 3? Thanks, I'm looking to order in the next 24 hours.

3 for sure. To me the 8 is just to big

Is the upper gun a 20, and if so did you have to alter the speadbead to make it fit?

Yes it's a 20. The mount at that time was only made for the 12 so it requires some slight moding. They make one now for the 20 though

If anyone knows a good website for a deal on the speedbead/FF3 combo please let me know.

Sorry for all the questions, but can I buy a FF3 that has the pica tinny mount and put it on a speed bead? I've been looking on ebay and might buy mount and sight separate.

Yep.  The mount is a separate part, so you can just leave it off.  That's what I've done, since I find the model with the mount on sale more often.

All of the Speed Bead/Mount combo's I have seen comes with the FFII and not the FF III.

I bought the mount and site separate. Usually you can get it cheaper that way and then have the extra picatinny mount to sell or keep. I got the mount off eBay new for pretty cheap.
