Anybody using a red dot besides a Burris Fastfire on their shotgun? I use one on my 1201FP but I need to put a dot on my lady's new 20g Mossberg 500 and I want to be sure I'm going with the best option.
Does anyone have a better option than the FF?
Thanks
Bruce
"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

I use Aimpoint micros on my turkey guns and they work very well. Benelli SBE2 for me and Remington 1187 20ga for kids and guests. Needed to tap the 1187 to add a rail.

Aimpoint has a new micro for shotguns, S-1. It was at the NRA show. Attaches to the barrel rib and has a 6moa dot. Handled a display shotgun with one. Seemed nice. Attached close to the muzzle area.
Aimpoint for me. I generally prefer the larger tube models to the micro on my shotgun, but I don't think it really matters. Given that I like the MRO on other guns I would have no issue using one on a shotgun as well, but I haven't done it.

Short answer is I really like shooting my Benelli M2 with an Aimpoint T2. I am much faster and more precise with slugs.
I set up a Benelli M2 Tactical with a MesaTactical Urbino Stock, an Aimpoint T2 mounted via a Midwest Industries low profile mount to allow co-witnessing with the Benelli ghost ring sights (The Midwest Industries low profile mount was designed for the Benelli M4, so I had to take about 1/8" off of the rear of the mount so it would fit with the rear iron sights and be able to use the existing factory sight base holes), single point sling attachment, GG&G Oversized Bolt Release, Charging Handle and Magazine Tube, Taran Tactical Extended Carrier (to avoid the dreaded Benelli thumb), and Freedom Fighter Tactical Forearm and Disconnector to ensure 922r compliance.This message has been edited.
