SpeedBead Shotgun Sight

The SpeedBead™ System is the FastFire 3 with 8 MOA dot, and specially designed SpeedBead mount.  It is available for a variety of shotguns.  You can also purchase a SpeedBead Mount, without the FastFire 3 optic.

Apply the ease, speed, and accuracy of a red dot sighting system to your favorite shotgun with this unique mounting system.

The SpeedBead™ mounts a FastFire™ optic between the stock and receiver of many popular shotguns.

Your line of sight will fall naturally just above the vented rib, allowing for accurate and instinctive aiming.

At 1x magnification, it’s designed for both-eyes-open shooting. That’s ideal for shooting clays and hunting waterfowl, upland birds, and turkeys.

  • Mounts low between the stock and receiver
  • Line of sight falls just above the vented rib for accurate aiming
  • 1x magnification allows both-eyes-open shooting
  • Parallax free, for improved accuracy
  • CR-1632 battery with automatic time-out feature lasts up to 5 years

SpeedBead Shotgun Sight is rated 3.5 out of 5 by 23.
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Doesn't fit a Remington 1100 20 ga. I had high hopes for this. Midway lists it as a 4 moa dot, it is an 8. The instructions said it fits a 1100, no gauge indicated. It did NOT fit my 1100 20 ga. and I gouged up my stock trying to make it work. The dot is fuzzy at any distance, but is good up close where it would be if the mount fit. The dot is too big to use on any of my other firearms. I damaged the mount, so I don't feel I can return it. If you buy it make REAL SURE it will fit your gun.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lowest mounting height. I bought the SpeedBead specifically for turkey hunting. To install it on my SBE3 I had to slightly modify it since a model for this gun isn't available. I love the fact that I can co-witness the red dot of the Vortex Venom & my fiber optic open sights - a reference & a backup are always there. I simply remove the Venom when using the gun for other purposes. The SpeedBead stays in place, out of the way.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Does not fit Bought model 410684 that is supposed to fit the Browning Gold. It DOES NOT fit. I will have to order a new stock and cut it down for it to fit. That way i can keep my original stock intact. The top of the metal spacer goes on ok, but at the bottom where it is cut out for the spring tube, it will not slide over the stock creating a gap between receiver and stock that cannot be pulled up. Now i have to buy a stock that cost more than the mount just to be able to use the Fast Fire 3 i bought.
Date published: 2018-04-29
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect turkey sight Easy mount to the 870. Worked perfectly until I broke the lens, no fault of Burris just abuse. Burris replaced it, no questions asked.
Date published: 2017-02-16
Rated 4 out of 5 by from First Red Dot Scope I purchased the Burris FastFire III 8-MOA as my first red dot scope so I was unsure what to expect. What I found was that when mounted on a 223 rifle I am able to hit the target with very little accuracy. I think this is because I lack enough experience with this type scope. The dot covers the entire target and it difficult to aim consistently. It is my opinion that this type sight would work much better on a shotgun or use MOA of 2 or 3 for a rifle. I decided on the Burris scope because of the warranty "Every Burris optic is covered by the Burris Forever Warranty". How can you go wrong with a warranty like that? The scope is compact, lightweight, but the dot appears a bit fuzzy and it is difficult to use the combination off and brightness button. It isn't very sensitive and it takes several tries to get to work.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Failed from day 1 To start, the product , based on the description, was suppose to have Fastfire 3 red dot, but it came with a Fastfire 2. And it never worked. I even tried a different battery just to make sure. The store would not exchange it, saying I had to go through Burris warranty. They did offer to cancel my order and return the product, but I wanted to try it out. Luckily, it is winter and no hunting or range open at this time so I will wait to get it back.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Doesn't fit my SBEII Purchased a month ago and is headed back to Burris for the second time. The speed bead does not allow the Fastfire to adjust low enough on elevation. The wedge screw bottoms out on my gun, elevation adjusted all the way down and still point of impact is about 1' high. Was told I should look at shimming my $1,800 gun to work with the site. Fastfire itself seems to function and adjust properly but I can't give fair review as of now.
Date published: 2019-03-06
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Great sight; poor mount The recommended Speed Bead for the Benelli Super Nova does not fit that shotgun. I had to improvise with a drill and cutting tool. The Speed Bead for my Benelli SBE was perfect--the one for the Super Nova is very disappointing. Also, the screws for the mount are too short when a riser is utilized. Without a riser, I cannot make an accurate sighting. Aiming slightly above a target defeats the purpose of an adjustable Fast Fire.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from my turkey went down quick Shoots a little low after maxing out the adjustment but still works great for my shotgun.
Date published: 2016-06-28
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great I have had a Speedbead for about 7 years now. Works perfectly on my 1100, 11-87, and my 870. Soooo much better than the old Weaver Qwik-Point from years ago. Ran a straight at Skeet the first time I took it out. Thank you for making excellent products.
Date published: 2017-02-19
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Speedbead not sturdy enough Flimsy legs and unable to steady the fastfire. Ended up flaring up edge of my stock. So after all was said and done, had to buy a new stock and drill and tap my gun to get a steady mount. Do not recommend.

How do you replace the battery?

If the Speedbead system is using a Fastfire III the batter goes in the top of the sight in the battery compartment. For the Fastfire II, the unit needs to be removed, and the battery is accessed under the sight.

Hi, I have. Beretta A400 excel multi target high rib shotgun. On the Beretta website it says that the Burris sight will not fit all A400 shotguns. Can you please advise if the product will fit my shotgun and if so the code numbers for the products.John

Asked by: John 666
It is hard to say due to there being so many different models. We recommend calling Benelli with your serial number in hand, and confirming that the stock and receiver match up the same as the original A400. If they do, they it should fit with little modification needed.

This typically means the mount is slightly askew. We recommend ensuring the stock is torqued to spec, as this usually alleviates any flexing or moving.
