Description
Getting a red dot onto a shotgun that was never built for one used to mean a trip to the gunsmith. Burris solved that with the SpeedBead mount, a purpose built steel bracket that slides in between the stock and receiver on your Winchester SX3 or Browning Gold. Two screws hold it in place, no drilling or permanent changes to the gun, and once it's on you've got a solid platform for any FastFire red dot sight.
Why the SpeedBead Mount Works for Winchester SX3 and Browning Gold Owners
This isn't a universal rail trying to fit a dozen different guns. Burris built this specific version for the SX3 and Gold platforms, so the fit is tight and the geometry lines up the way it should. That matters because the mount sits low, keeping your line of sight just above the vented rib instead of stacking a bulky optic way up high where it throws off your natural point of aim. You keep the same cheek weld and gun mount you're used to, just with a dot added to the picture.
What the SpeedBead Mount Does for Your Shooting
Once the mount is on and a FastFire is attached, you get both eyes open shooting with a bright dot that sits right over the target. For clays this means faster swing through and less time hunting for your sight picture. For turkey hunters trying to put a precise shot on a bobbing head at 30 to 40 yards, that dot takes a lot of guesswork out of the equation compared to a bead sight. Waterfowl and upland hunters get the same benefit on fast crossing birds where a split second of hesitation costs you the shot.
Built to Handle What a 12 Gauge Dishes Out
The mount itself is machined from steel, not plastic, which matters when you're talking about repeated 12 gauge recoil over a season of hunting or a summer of clays. It's designed to work with any FastFire model, so if you already run a FastFire on another gun or a pistol, you can swap it over to your shotgun for waterfowl season and move it back when you're done. Installation takes a screwdriver and a few minutes, no special tools required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Burris SpeedBead Mount come with a red dot sight?
No, this listing is for the mount only. You'll need to add a Burris FastFire I, II, III, C, or RD separately, and any of those models will work with this mount since they all share the same footprint.
Will this mount fit any Winchester or Browning shotgun?
This specific mount, model 410684, is built for the Winchester SX3 and Browning Gold 12 gauge shotguns only. Burris makes separate SpeedBead mounts for other shotgun models, so double check your exact gun before ordering.
Do I need to drill or permanently modify my shotgun to install this?
No drilling or gunsmithing needed. The mount fits between your stock and receiver and attaches with two screws, so it comes off just as easily if you want to run the gun without an optic.
Will adding this mount change my shotgun's balance or cheek weld?
The mount is low profile and sits close to the rib, so most shooters notice little to no difference in balance or gun mount. Your line of sight falls just above the vented rib, close to where a traditional bead sight would sit.
Can I move my FastFire sight between guns using this mount?
Yes, since the mount accepts any FastFire model, you can swap the same optic between a pistol, rifle, or shotgun setup as long as each platform has a compatible mount. This makes it easy to dedicate one FastFire to waterfowl season and use it elsewhere the rest of the year.
How long does installation take?
Most people can get the SpeedBead mount installed and their FastFire attached in about 10 to 15 minutes with a basic screwdriver. You will want to pattern or shoot a few rounds afterward to confirm the dot lines up with your point of impact.
