The TruGlo TG948DR Fat Bead transforms shotgun sight acquisition with its oversized red fiber optic design that gathers ambient light for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. This precision-engineered sight upgrade replaces factory beads on compatible Mossberg and Stoeger shotgun models, delivering faster target acquisition and improved accuracy for sporting and tactical applications.
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 the target. The red fiber optic rod captures and channels available light, maintaining brightness even in dawn, dusk, or overcast conditions where traditional metal beads become difficult to see. This enhanced visibility translates to faster sight alignment and more confident shot placement across various shooting scenarios.
