i want to put a light scope and red dot on my 887 tactical

 

what you guys think?

I think:

To be a bit more serious then my fellow forum members, I could see the use for a tactical light however a scope does not make sense to me, shotguns dont really aim you just point in a direction and shoot.

Not if you have a slug gun meat wad.

That is correct however not in this case since it only has a 18 inch barrel.

slugs work in any barrel

 

Back to the original question at hand. IIRC, the 887 has a rail on it's barrel clamp. I'd mount a Streamlight TLR-1 or the like there and be done with it. You really don't need a scope on her, unless you plan on running slugs and shooting outside at the zombie hoard. Which even then I don't think it's needed.

yea i see what your saying... the one the dealer was going to sell me with the gun was all 3 in 1... but it seemed overpriced at 150 so i didnt get it... i been seeing a lot of green laser and led flashlight combos... i might get one of those

I have one on my 590A1 and another on a Stoeger Double defense. Best light for the money.

I really meant a hunting shotgun. I have a TLR-1s (strobe) on my HD pistol. Very nice.

Jared, I am not sure if you found a light for your shotgun but I came across this one while shopping...

I use the Nikon pro staff shotgun scope on my slug gun. But as far as home protection I wouldn't use a scope.

If anything I'd use that burris red dot for shot guns that's out.
