Burris Universal Vent Rib SpeedBead Mount for Shotguns
The Burris Universal Vent Rib SpeedBead Mount for Shotguns is a no-gunsmithing solution for mounting red-dot optics on your shotgun's existing rib. If you shoot clays, waterfowl, upland game, or turkeys, adding a quality red dot can transform your sight picture and target acquisition—but most shooters balk at the idea of drilling and tapping. This mount eliminates that headache. It clamps directly to your shotgun's vent rib using adapters that fit multiple rib widths, keeping installation simple and your receiver untouched.
The mount is engineered to capture the rib fully—side to side and along its entire length—so there's zero play once tightened. That means your FastFire red dot sits perfectly centered every time, with no shift left or right as you shoulder the gun. The black anodized aluminum construction won't scratch or mar your shotgun's finish, and it's built tough enough to handle the recoil and field conditions that come with serious hunting and sport shooting.
Burris designed this mount specifically for the FastFire Series red dots (sold separately), so you know the fit and function are dialed in. Whether you're working upland birds, waiting in a duck blind, or breaking targets at the range, a mounted red dot on this platform will tighten your shot placement and speed up your sight alignment. It's the kind of practical upgrade that pays dividends the first time you hunt with it.
