Red Dot Scopes and TSS Shells?

[MickThompson]

I just saw MidwayUSA selling a Burris ff with a free rib mount

 

[tntrkkllr]

I'm sure they are quality mounts I've just never known anyone to use one. Sumtoy mounts I have used and know a lot of people that also use them with good results

I have EGW on both of my guns

I just got a new 20 GA and I've decided to put a red dot scope on it.Im thinking a Vortex or a truglo.What would you get and why?I have a scope on my other turkey gun and don't want to take it off, so I want to get the red dot for this reason.Also, do you need to get a special choke made just for tss shot shells, this is the first time ever shooting tss shells.

Burris FF3 is a great option but i just bought my first swamp fox a little while back and really like it also. Check out your factory full choke before you buy another. If you do buy an aftermarket choke I would look at the Indian Creek .562 they have shot great for me out of my setups. Or look at a Jebs .560/.565.

I highly recommend a Burris FF3 and apex ammunition or rouge ammunition. If you want to spend money on a good choke I highly recommend Indian creek

That's my combo right there
FF3,sumtoy mount,Franchi AF3 and Indian Creek . Simple,light and deadly

 

[Rebels20]

if your gun is drilled and tapped get a sumtoy OR the new receiver mount from Meadow Creek. If its not get the Meadow Creek rib mount.

That Bushnell RXS take the Leupold Delta Pro footprint.

The swamp fox,is it a shake awake or manual turn on.I don't want a shake awake

Remington 870 youth 20, FF3 with egw mount Indian creek and hand loads hard to beat!

 

[REN]

I would want a 2 MOA

2moa is pretty small IMO depending on the age of your eyes

3moa is, for me, the sweet spot. Anything bigger then that is much to big though.

 

[mayberryrick]

Anyone shot an Indian Creek .555 in a 870 youth? Would that be too tight?

 

[JCDEERMAN]

Sumtoy with Burris ff3 here. Love it

Thanks everyone. My eyes aren't what they used to be, so it may be time to get a red dot.

That's too vague of a question without knowing which load (how many oz) and the shot size you're shooting through it. Having said that, I have 2 of said guns w/21" barrels and they both love a Carlson's .575 with 1-5/8 oz #9 handloads.

I have a swampfox on my carry pistol and I also like it a lot. Seems quality built for the cost.

I have. Here's 2 shots from 2 different guns with the IC .555 and Hal's Big20XL load. 40 yards, 10" circle.
