I'm sure this has been kicked around but my search was ineffective.

I'm building a 20ga for woodland hunting and been thinking about a reflex sight. What says the DS brain trust?

Reflex or quality front/mid bead set?

I've got a Burris Fast Fast 3 with the speed bead mount system on a SBE2. Works great. Advantage to the speed bead mount is you can still see your bead on the barrel if the battery dies or something else happens. I wouldn't have one mounted on a rail. I'd worry about a battery dying or dropping the shotgun...then what are you going to do in the field?

I've got fiber optic Truglo sights (rifle style open sights) on both of my turkey guns and have never felt lacking hunting a mixture of woods and open fields. That said, I will probably add a Burris FFIII or other reflex style sight to my 20 ga next year for my daughter to use......at least that's what I'll tell the wife.....

Burris also has a great warranty. I somehow bent the frame on my FF3. Mailed it in after season last year, and got a brand new one in the mail shortly after, no questions asked.

I shoot a FF2 and FF3. I love them.
