optic for a Beretta 1301

[300shooter]

Looking for opinions on an optic for my 1301 tactical, I'm at that stage where the ghost ring is just told blurry for my eyes. I've heard the Burris Fast Fire mentioned but was wondering what everyone else's experiences were.

I use the Tacord mount with a Holosun HE507c, works great for me

Same here. I use the 507CO variant and I removed the rear sight. Also plugged the holes on the receiver.

The Holosun 503 models have a large 65moa ring that can fairly approximate buckshot patterns.
The 507 models have a 35moa ring which doesn’t.
The 503 is usually cheaper too

I have a 507, it's a good balance between features and price, and the circle dot reticle is big enough to be fast and has enough precision for distance with slugs.

Bushnell trs25. Shot slugs regularly at a gong 100 yards away with no issue.

I’ve recently been thinking of getting an optic for mine too. What size dots are you guys running?

 

[enefgee]

Generally speaking shotgun dots should be on the large side. Your max range with slugs is around 100 yards anyway, so a dot that covers 7 inches at 100 (7 minute) should work just fine for hitting an 18 x 18 target at 100. The bigger dot is also a bit quicker and easier to acquire in close. The various circle dots 32 min and 65 min with a 1 or 2 minute centre are the best of both worlds, put the circle on and fire up close for speed or slow down a bit and have a fine dot for precision at distance.
