Title: Scope Rail Question for 835 & 870 Owners
Post by: moonshine on September 20, 2016, 02:38:50 PM
Hey Guys,

  I just recently got a TruGlo Gobble Stopper scope and I'm debating on which gun to install it on, my Mossberg 835 w/24" barrel or my Remington 870 w/22" barrel...  The 870 would need to be drilled and tapped so that's a plus for installing the scope on the 835 - it's already drilled and tapped! 

  Alright, I'll install it on the 835!  But what rail base do I need?  I can obviously find suitable bases by doing a google search, but I wanted to check with the gurus before buying anything to see if one of you guys knows of a preferred setup, cheap option, etc.  Thanks in advance for the info!

Got one and have the scope installed now!  Still need to add a few more things before she's picture worthy!
