Just read the Thanksgiving installment. Glad I read this before lunch as it mostly made me hungry! The part about the guernsey cow reminded me of the guernsey my Mom had growing up affectionately named "Squirt". ;)

Yeah, if you're not happy with the height of the optic, it's probably best to not waste money getting an iron sight to co-witness it. Keep us posted on what you end up with, and I appreciate all the advice!

I haven't tested my theory yet, but my thinking is that when looking through the optic, the fiber optic bead would be closer to POI at distances less than 5 yards. I'll have to do a little testing.

I see now what you mean. That would likely work great on anything with a straight stock (AR, M4 style stock on nearly any firearm). Would one of the ATI Akita stocks work out better? That would keep the "stock" look with a raised comb.

I'd be interested to see what kind of setup you're running. I had some concerns about that as well, but my standard grip and cheek weld put the dot in a perfect place for me. Maybe you need a stock like the one I have on my 500. It...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Rossignol, did you ditch the red dot after trying it?

I'm updating things a bit and decided to try out a cheap red dot to see how I like it on a shotgun. I love it on my AR-15 as I'm right handed, left eye dominant. It makes leaving both eyes open easy now. Hopefully I can get some...
Re: Magazaine Tube Plug Included?
Sorry I didn't follow back up. Yes, my 500 had a plug in it, limiting it to 2 - 3" shells in the magazine tube. I just wasn't sure as I've seen plugs advertised for so many shotguns (including the 500) that I wondered if maybe it was an optional piece.

Magazaine Tube Plug Included?
This would be a really simple question to answer if I were home near my shotgun. :roll: I've just been invited to take a pheasant hunting trip over Thanksgiving weekend. I have a new Mossberg 500 Combo (54243) seen here...

Thanks, Rossignol! I think the models with the Parkerized finish aren't out there as much any more. Most of the models I see in the shops now are just a matte finish. As for the HiViz, it's a big help for me as I'm right handed...
