Tactical shotgun sights? Optics? What?

[fightingquaker13]

Ok. I have a brand new Maverick 88 security model with a rail on top and a bead front sight. The question is what do I put on it? My instinct is to go with good old fashioned ghost rings, but I am utterly ignorant of electronic sights. My criteria are that it has to be less than two bills and it has to work in daylight, it has to be immediate in terms of target aqusition (no squinting and wondering where the heck is the dot) and be effective to 50 yards. Please tell me what you think.

On the Midway site or in their latest flier I got in the mail, I noticed that BSA is selling or licensing their name to a red dot optic that was normally sold under the ATN name.

At first glance, the ATN red dot looks a lot like a C-more, but it has, IMO, one distinct advantage.  The "reticle" on the ATN can be changed to a dot, a circle dot, circle and crosshairs, or just plain crosshairs.  I got to borrow a buddy's ATN and put it on my AR.  Granted an AR doesn't recoil all that much, but it performed flawlessly.  The ATN, I think, was originally going for like 100 to 120 bucks on Midway's site.  On Natchezz's though it was going closer to 80. 

Now that I have seen the latest Midway flier with the BSA version, I think that they only wanted like 50 bucks for it.

On my Mossy 500 I'm going with a Carlsons High Visibility FO bead at $5.50

Is this a joke?

Point and CLICK.....keep it simple.  A bead is fine....forget the bells and whistles and go with the high dollar one Tom mentioned....

 Midway has the same things though maybe not exact same brand and price.

I agree with the simple part and don't really want to go high tech. I just thought I'd ask as I was skeptical of lasers for pistols  too and am now coming around. My instinct is to go with the USMC issue ghost rings. I was going to buy a 590 before I was basically given the Maverick ($200 brand new, who can say no?). You and Tom are both Navy and Marine types, what say you?

Load the friggin thing with 00 buck and point and click....you don't need to aim, trust me!  If you have to shoot fifty yards your not defending yourself, your hunting!

I'd go with a simple bead.  It's not a rifled barrel and yer not gonna be shootin' 50 -75 yards regularly.

Remember the scene from the movie "Tin Cup" where Costner is wearing all the gadgets to get rid of the "yips"?

Don't be that guy!

The FO will show up in any light conditions you can see the target in.
