The Truglo Long Bead fiber optic sight (brand part no. TG947ARM) is a CNC-machined metal bead built as a drop-in replacement for a worn or dim factory shotgun bead. It’s fitted with a bright red 0.078 in. fiber optic rod that gathers ambient light for a sight picture that stands out fast against most backgrounds. This version uses a universal 6-40 mounting thread, matching the bead stud found on many shotguns rather than a single specific model. As a long bead, it sits taller than a standard factory bead, giving a more visible sighting reference for wingshooting and clays.
