Halo / Reflex for a pump shotgun ?
I have a Mossy 590 that is 15 years old and down and dirty cheap. This shotgun is sporting a birdshead grip (not going back to a full stock) and has a smooth bore 20" barrel. The single POS brass bead sight is gone and I am using a TLR2 for light and sight.
After looking at a zillion different sights I stumbled across a few discussions about using a Halo/Reflex on a pump. Interesting. I have yet to master using a birdshead grip but I was proficient with a pistol grip before it. I think an open reflex sight may work for my application of HD. I might even try and keep a Mepro or XS front bead just for kicks.
Any ideas for this?

TruGlo red dot on a Mesa railed sidesaddle on my 870. TruGlo was around $40 at Dick's, Mesa was around $100.

I've been running an EOTech on my shotgun now for several years. Can't imagine moving to anything else.  The 65 MOA circle puts you on target fast for anything up close. The 1 MOA dot will take you out to what ever the effective slug range of your shotgun without covering the target.

My buddy runs a 6.5 MOA Trijicon Reflex on his M4 Benelli. He likes it a lot, particularly for close and fast work, and it puts slugs on target acceptably at 100yds.

I can't imagine running an optic that costs more than the gun....
Have you thought about ghost rings?

That's funny; a lot of my optics cost more than what they're on--ACOGs, the Swarovski 6-18 on my Savage...
Cheap optics only degrade performance on a good gun.

We're talking about a 15 year old mossy. It's like putting Hoosier drag slicks on an 85 Chevy Celebrity.

Not really.
If a good optic gets you on target faster, there's considerable benefit.
