Anyone run a Reflex sight on your 12g shotgun?

I've had a trijicon rx34 mounted on my 870 magpul and although it looks awkward it works very well...

All that matters is that it's functional & helps with the quick sight acquisition. Looks is only cosmetics.

that's very cool. I have the Burris Fastfire 3 as well on my Mossberg 930 spx

Do you find the additional height of the reflex sight effects your cheek weld?

OK, just for fun, here is my old school shotgun reflex sight. Nydar model 47.
Made from tool steel. Designed in 1947, inspired by fighter plane gunsight technology.

Nice, I have an identical one from a Winchester 1200 in 20ga that I inherited from my grandma.

Take a photo for us please!
Mine will be used on a future project...some previous owner has had the base machined to fit a vent rib.
This modification will dictate the direction of the project...maybe a short SxS?

Just got my Vortex Venom, did an unboxing in the Optic section if anyone's interested.

anyone running a speed bead?

It's such a small optic. It works beautiful. Nice, bright red dot and also plenty field of view (which is good with shotgun- you can see what you're currently exploding)

looks to be the same size as your vortex, which seems to be a nice optic

I see that Burris has protective wings available for purchase... looks like a good investment if you carry your shotgun a lot.

I use a Burris Fastfire 2 on my Kel Tec KSG and I really enjoy it. It handles the recoil and is almost like cheating when I shoot clays. I can shoot them before most of my buddy's can even raise their guns.

I've got a Trijicon RMR on my Versamax and an EoTech XPS2 on my M4 both hold zero perfectly

Are you sure it was machined, looks like mine came with a couple receiver mounting options. There's a price inside the box that says 10.95 but I don't know if that's for the whole assembly or another mounting option. The serial on the gun it came off of dates it around 67 production and this would have been bought new with the gun or shortly after. I took it off the shotgun as I prefer the bead sight but could mount it up quickly if you want to see it installed.

/l\ You are absolutely correct, It is a factory base, what made me think it was modified is that the
vent rib slot on mine is "in the white". When I acquired my Nydar, it only came with the vent rib base.
I'd love to see it on your shotgun.

Badass! Old school low-tech....no batteries required.
I'm still thinking it was manufactured many years before that shotgun.
The Nydar was never a big hit...maybe someone bought yours NOS?

I have been using a Bushnell Firststrike on my budget 870 project.
Three Federal slugs at 50 meters (the other group was 6" so no photo of it )
