Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Burris Speed Bead for Shotguns

Has anyone had experience shooting a shotgun with the Burris Speed Bead Reflex Red Dot sight mounted. I've done a lot of shotgunning over the last four decades but my eye sight is slowly getting worse. I've used Red Dots on rifles and handguns but have never used any type of optical sight on the shotguns I shoot. Any thoughts, opinions etc.? Thanks

Gregory, there was a very good discussion (and some pictures of mount variations) in the Turkey Hunting forum down below, during this past spring turkey season. The general consensus of the hunters who owned them was very good. In fact I am planning on putting one on my Browning BPS dedicated turkey shotgun for this coming spring season due to what I learned from those posts. Today I saw a Leupold version at the gunshop, quite similar but over $550.00, the Burris was around $200.00 or so.

Ps I am mixing up the SpeedBead with the FastFire II - similar sight, but different mounting configuration. If you can find a copy of the free gunshop info/magazine On Target, the APR/MAY 2008 issue had a six model comparison written by Clair Rees. My gunshop has cases of these mags from the past four years - if you want a copy PM me and I will mail one to you.
