RE: Truglo Red Dot from a stand
My 870 with rifled barrel wears a Bushnell Banner 2.5-4.
Haven't had any probs, and the mag seems about right for slug ranges.
If you like the red dot, my Tasco Propoint 5 works OK (12 brightness settings, and 4 dots sizes), but I don't know how long it will hold up to the recoil.
