Gmcrigger2007 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I maybe going coyote hunting this coming winter and i would like to use my Benelli M4 . What optic would some of you guys recommend? I've been on this forum from time to time and i know the aim point T-1 is a very popular sight and also the eotechs. I've never used a scope or red dot on a shotgun before so any suggestions would be appreciated . Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohbejuan Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I believe the top 2 favorites are the Aimpoint Micro T-2 or the Trijicon RMR (pick your favorite dot). Battery life on either are superior to any other solution and they're much lighter than the EOTechs. If you go with the Aimpoint Micro T-2, the lowest Larue Tactical QD mount is your best bet (my opinion). If you go RMR, they make a special rail that puts the RMR in co-witness with your sights. Both pretty much last forever and are indestructible and have great resale value. I won't say the same about Leupold, Docter, Bushnell, or many others. If you're looking for used, etc, the AR15.com EE (equipment exchange) forums always have used optics flowing through there. Micro T-2 with mount runs ~$800 RMR with rail runs ~$550.

benelliwerkes Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) If coyote shooting in low / no light conditions a good scope can be a nice advantage; might even use the Surefire to identify the target.

Retired Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Distance you'll be shooting from? I just swapped an Insight MRDS (can't remember who bought them out) for the Trijicon RMR. I like to shoot co-witness and the Trijicon/Scalar works combo is ideal (for me). Red dot MOA becomes a factor depending on distance too.

GunFanatic Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 The Aimpoint Micro would be my pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmcrigger2007 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Thank you guys for all the suggestions. I think i may try the Aimpoint first. A friend has one that i can borrow,Just have to get a mount for it . May try American Defense MFG . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohbejuan Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I've had an ADM mount before. The thing is like buying a Chinese car. It's OK to try, but Larue mounts are farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr superior to ADM and the like. The ADM mount was almost "crunchy", adjusting the QD lever is laughable, and I destroyed one of their mounts within 10 minutes of having it by slightly over tightening. Just my opinion, I don't work for either. It's worth it to pony up for Larue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmcrigger2007 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 I looked at the Larue mount,it looks better made than the ADM mount. Will i have to change the Benelli rail that came on the shotty? I've read some comments that the stock rails are not the best quality.

truckcop Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I've had Larue, ADM, ARMS, and most of the rest. If I install a new optic on a gun now I go with Bobro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohbejuan Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I've changed mine typically because I like to go with the detachable side saddle by (formerly) Asgard Defense (now tactical solutions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
