The TruGlo TG948DG Fat Bead transforms shotgun target acquisition with its oversized green fiber optic design that gathers ambient light for enhanced visibility in all shooting conditions. This precision sight upgrade delivers faster target acquisition and improved accuracy for Mossberg 500, 835, 9200 series and select Stoeger shotgun models.
What Makes This Different
The Fat Bead design features a significantly larger profile than standard factory beads, creating a more prominent sight picture that draws the eye naturally to proper alignment. The green fiber optic element glows brightly in daylight conditions while remaining visible in low-light scenarios. Unlike traditional brass or steel beads, this sight actively gathers and channels available light to the shooter's eye for consistent visibility across varying light conditions.
Key Features
- Oversized Fat Bead design for enhanced target acquisition speed
- Green fiber optic element for superior visibility in all lighting
- 5-40 thread pitch fits Mossberg 500/835/9200 and Stoeger models

Field performance shows marked improvement in target acquisition speed, particularly beneficial for clay sports, upland hunting, and tactical applications. The green fiber optic maintains visibility against varied backgrounds where traditional beads can disappear. Weather-resistant construction handles moisture, temperature extremes, and recoil stress without degradation. The sight maintains zero through hundreds of rounds while the fiber optic element retains brightness over extended use.
