Truglo TG949A Tru-Bead Universal Fibre Optic Sight
The Truglo TG949A Tru-Bead Universal is a fibre-optic replacement sight for shotguns, designed to fit any vent rib width. It swaps out for the standard front bead, giving a much brighter, more visible aiming point in the field or on the clay ground, particularly useful in low light or against dull backgrounds where a plain brass bead disappears. The low-profile CNC-machined body sits close to the rib so it doesn’t snag or interfere with the shooter’s natural sight picture, and it comes with interchangeable fibre-optic rods so you can choose the colour that stands out best against your typical background. Fibre diameter is 0.60in. The universal design means a single Tru-Bead can be used across different rib widths. A keenly priced upgrade for anyone wanting a faster, more visible sight point.

I installed the Truglo TG949A on my 12-gauge shotgun and noticed a big difference in visibility during early morning shoots. The fibre-optic bead stands out clearly even in dim light. The fit is secure and doesn’t interfere with my aiming. I like that it works with any rib width, so I didn’t need to buy a model specific to my gun.

The sight is easy to install and fits perfectly on my shotgun with a standard vent rib. I switched from a brass bead and now see the aiming point much more clearly in low light. The colour options are helpful, and I chose a bright green for clay shooting.

After using it for several weeks, I can confirm it’s a reliable upgrade. The brightness is consistent, and the low profile keeps the sight clean and natural. I appreciate the universal fit—no need to order different parts for different guns.
