I personally think that EOTech's were made for shotguns (square window and 65MOA outer circle). It is a match made in heaven as far as I am concerned... C4 |

Do it...Shotguns work well with most of the optics that you can use with both eyes open.
...unless you have eyes like this >>>>  MT

I put an OKO on my 11-87 with a B-Square mount. I took it Dove shooting two years ago and did horrible. It was too high to get any kind of cheek weld. Everyone is different, it didn't work for ME. Heck, give it a try. |

I have used EOTECH 552's - Aimpoint M2's and DrOtic/Optima's on shotguns - works very well.
 My buddy with the shotgun here has been using a Optima and loves it...  |

Yup, but it takes a little getting used to. Here's some pics of a few..

All my shotguns have dot sights on them
 The problem you will run into mounting a dot sight on a shotgun with a standard stock is that your cheek weld will amost certainly be too low. |

Do the dot sights slow you down at all?
It's hard for me to imagine anything faster than a vent rib with a bead on the end. |

for shooting clays, both eyes open put the dot in the general area, pull the trigger. If they are traveling horizontally in front of you, you can use the dot for lead. |

I agree. I do better with the scope. I don't see double with the dot like I do with the bead.

Never fired them that way, just handled them. I don't like the idea. At shotgun range a good set of ghost rings works fine for me. Its light, compact, and I don't ever lift my cheek off the stock, which is a good thing.

With standard stocks that have a drop to them, I totally agree with you. The SST-870 exists because I wanted an effective optics mounting platform for my shotgun after having used a dot sight on a standard stocked shotgun with dissatisfaction. Inconsistent cheek weld = loss of speed which is the whole point behind using a dot sight. |

Good point SR. I like the control of your system also, but I still prefer the slimness of ghost rings.

Jedimaster,
My shotgun is set up just like the first photo posted by KevinB, below, except I use an EOTech rather than an Aimpoint as shown in the photo. It's great. A match made in heaven. Do it. |

I got to use an SST-870 last weekend.. i found that the cheek weld to sight picture was extremly natural.. made it VERY easy to aim with optics! I gotta try it with clays now!

What are good mounting options for a red dot on a shotgun, specifically a Rem 1100?
