I have a Remington 870 express 20 gauge, and bought a Burris Fastfire iii as a red dot sight. I tried the B square saddle mount because I heard it was decent and the weaver style might fit. It did not. Instead I got a picatinny saddle mount, no name brand from China, which I kind of hate. It's got sharp edges, cut myself on recoil, don't like the way it sits. But the big problem is it puts the sight waaaay up high. I'd need a 2"+ cheek riser to get my head up enough.
So... what would you suggest I mount this fastfire to my 870 20 with? The hope is to get it much lower profile.
I've read a little about the 336 mounts here, don't know if that would work for me...? Other good options?
I was originally hoping to do this myself without drilling, thus the saddle mount. But while I really like the red dot, I hate the how high it's mounted, so maybe a trip to the gunsmith is in order...
