Picked up this little gun last year right before the season for a killer price. Threw a set of Williams Fire Sights on it, sited in, and took the woods. It was responsible for 4 dead birds. 3 stubborn Alabama Easterns and my first Merriam's in Washington so to say I love this little thing is an understatement. I treated it this week to a cerakote job done by a local place which consists of OD Green on the stock and forearm with patriot brown on the receiver and barrel. Also I took a Fastfire mount from Sumtoy to the same fellas and had them drill and tap as well as install the mount. Just missing a Venom or Fastfire and I'll be sitting on G and waiting on O for March to roll back around! I do have a question for you guys who already have a Fastfire or Venom mounted on your killer. When the guys drilled and tapped the gun, as you can see in the picture they went closer to midway up the receiver then the standard near the rear of the receiver that I see most guys running when it comes to their dots. It's my fault for not telling them exactly where I wanted the mount at but the question is, does anyone who has a Venom or Fastfire on their gun have one mounted further up the receiver and are there any sight picture or problems that arise from having one that far forward? Thanks for the read and any answers fellas.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180801/61703adfaebf0229297e17fb5f5f0140.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180801/bbb511c0ee0bac73dde347b18eb2b0ab.jpg)

No problems at all. Yours is mounted same area it is on my 870. I also run Vortex red dot on my carry pistol distance from eye really doesnt matter much.
I think you have yourself one good looking turkey killer!
You won't have any issue at all, and that gun looks great.
Thanks for the input fellas! I enjoyed the mess out of carrying it this past spring so I can't wait to have it fully upgraded to my liking and ready for next year.
Looks awesome and I think the mount is perfect, congrats Coop on the killer!
I bet that thing would love some handloaded 1 7/16oz 9's! :drool:
Looks good! I re-did mine last year:
Same place my FF3 is mounted on my Benelli! Works perfect!

I bought the same gun for my son last year and found myself carrying it a lot. It is a handy little gun and points and shoots like a dream.
