VTbrshbstr Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 My parents are buying me a red dot and scope mount for my 870 express for my birthday. Any thoughts on the Tru-glows? Also can't decide between the polymer weaver saddle mount or the B-Sqaure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3seasons Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Tru-Glo makes a good scope. They make a few different ones that I like also. I like the tru brite open and the gobble stopper especially with the 2.5/3moa center dot. The outer circle should be close to your pattern size at most distances. I personally have a bushnell trophy on my 12ga with the center dot reticle and I'm putting a Burris FastFire 3(I wish it had the center dot reticle) on the 20ga I'm building. Gonna have to put my hands one of those tru-Glo opens. I like the polymer mount for weight and sleekness only thing that is iffy about it is that it flexes easily. I'm sure it's spring back is solid but it still moves easier than the aluminum B-square mount. I drill and tap all of mine and put a weaver base on them. Solid as a rock. I've had a b-square and I really didn't like it. When I tried it, it would hit your hand with heavy loads. Shot it once Then drilled my gun. I'd go with the polymer mount if that's the rout you want to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse8953 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I got a trueglow gobbler stopper on my back up gun that my girlfriend uses.it has a compartment on top of the knob you turn it on by for a extra battary.i use fiberoptic rifle sight that came stock on my 870 sps for my main turkey gun.

VTbrshbstr Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Tru-Glow red dot. I ended up choosing the Bushnell Trs-25. It had the best and most consistent reviews of all the ones in my price range. $99.00 shipped. I chose the B-Square base simply for the fact that I was able to pick up a brand new one on eBay for $20.00 ships. Will post pics when the arrive and are mounted on my gun.
