I previously posted this in the optics section but I know a lot of people on here are using the FFIII and I am trying to get a little more traffic before I pull the trigger on this (or not). Thanks
Does anyone have any experience with The SpeedBead on a Beretta 391? Benelli guys seem to be sold on them and others say they will not hold zero (due to the mount). I have a 391 20 gauge and have finally located a SpeedBead setup for it (apparently Burris discontinued the 20 g unit some time ago). I am really torn on purchasing for two reasons; I am concerned that the package is only available with the 8 MOA dot and am concerned about the mount holding zero. I think I would be happier with the 3 MOA dot. Any experience would be greatly appreciated. I have successfully used this gun for the last five years with just the bead so if this will not work all is not lost!

Honestly, I wouldn't trust that mount for precise shooting. Of course, it might work just fine, but I'd much rather have a solid mount attached to the receiver. But that's just me...

The 8 MOA is the better way to go in my opinion. I have been shooting mine for 2 seasons now with 7 kills and love it. Here are 2 from this season.

I'm having my Benelli M2 tapped to accommodate the FF3. I prefer the structural integrity of a receiver mount instead of placing an optic in a joint between receiver and stock.

If it eats I can catch it, if it bleeds I can kill it.
