Red dot mounting options

Post by youngun15 »

I have a Benelli M2 20ga i will be shooting this year. I already have the choke/load combo for it. I want to mount my FF without drilling and tapping the receiver. Are there any other ways to mount it to the gun? I know they make saddle mounts for 12 ga Benelli's but not sure it would fit.

I usually use Mighty Putty when I do not want to drill and tap.. Break off a little bit kneed in your fingers and place on receiver where you want your FFIII.. Than gently put on FFIII as you do not want the putty to adhere yet, ensure everything is straight and than push down with some force and it will hold.

Damn Tom. That's just cruel.

There are no numbers on any of my clocks below 8. Then all of a sudden, 2 days before turkey season they appear. Then right after the season they disappear.
What's up with that

Don't listen to him! He told me to do the something similar when installing a spare tire. The resulting accident blocked traffic for hours.

+1 on the drill and tap. Probably cost $60. You can always take off the scope for wing shooting, if necessary.

I drilled and tapped mine. I also put an extra screw in for good measure
