I use my SPR310 for trap.
As for replacing the bead with a fiber optic, one school of thought is that you should be concentrating on the bird, and not the bead. Head on the Stock, Eye on the Rock. Basically you see the bird, point your gun and it hits the bird. This is why people are always talking about gun fit, its so they don't have to aim. Just point, where their eye looks their gun points.
By focusing on the bead, you lose sight of the clay and are more prone to miss. So with that in mind, most trap shooters do not use fiber optics so their eye isn't drawn away from the clay. I know of people who have taken the bead off all together.
But if you want to try the fiber optic, they do make magnetic ones that will fit right onto your rib, right before your bead. Try one of these, so you do not have to remove your bead. Then if you like it, great. If not you can take it off and your bead is still there.
Good luck with your new gun
