Illuminated Shotgun Optics?

I have a Remington 870 Express Synthetic with Knoxx Special Ops stock.

I also have a B-square saddle mount for a scope/red dot.

I've seen the holograph (?) by Bushnell, but wonder if it is visible in bright daylight? If not, what would be a good daylight illuminated aiming system?

red dot

I mounted a Tru Glo 1X30 red dot on my Winchester 1300 Turkey gun. They are waterproof, fog proof and shock proof.A real slick toy for shotgunning things including a turkey. I am more than happy with the Tru Glo. Bought it at GM on sale for $30.00. Off sale they are $40.00.

I have used the eotech in the daylight and never had a problem seeing the holograph. I plan to purchase one maybe 2 for my AR's and will try it out on my 870 (before I buy a trakloc for it) to see how I like it for lobbing slugs.

How do like that stock? I have allways been curious about those.

I just installed it today so I wouldn't know. But these guys seem to like it:

Red dots are a waste

or this

Those work for the worlds 2 best shooters, so they should work for you.
