So I plan to mount Burris fast fires on a Mossberg 935 turkey and a Remington 870 (it is drilled and taped)
What are the part numbers I need for the Marlin 336 mounts ?
I know there's been post on this subject but Id like to know exactly what I need.
Thanks Guys. :gobble:
Burris part number is 410333
EGW also makes some nice mounts for Fastfire/Venom style sights.
We have a low pro mount that fits to the contour of the gun. One of the lowest on the market.
I love my mount from William. It sits low..
I have 3 Burris FF3 on sumtoy bases and there is nothing better available
My shotgun is in right now being drilled and tapped. I bought a Sumtoy mount and it looks great, fits great. Highly recommend!
Get the sumtoy.
I use Sumtoy bases for all my red dot sights.

The way I understand it, the Marlin 336 mount needs one hole drilled in order to fit a drilled and tapped gun. You use one of the factory holes and you need to drill and tap one more. I could be wrong on that because I never mounted one.
The Sumtoy I HAVE mounted and although they're SLIGHTLY higher than the 336, they fit right out of the box.
William designed a slick little mount there. Low, solid and adaptable to most shotguns. I'd recommend that one highly.
Is there a rib mount with a protective base available on the market?
Love my sumtoy base!
Sumtoy Mount is best I've seen and I have 3 of them. They fit like they grew there.

The 336 mount has 2 holes in it, spaced .5". It matches the factory D&T on quite a few guns, mossbergs included, but not remington 870s. I know a lot of guys would drill an additional hole in the 336 mount to make it work for guns with different holespacing back when it was the only ff3 mount. Now theres quite a few good options for ff3 mounts.
Sumtoy looks like the way to go if your receiver is drilled and tapped and your gun is a dedicated turkey thumper.
Lunghit asked: "Is there a rib mount with a protective base available on the market?"
I've not seen one with protective features, but I do have a Meadows Creek rib mount on my 20 ga. 870. It is a solid mount and has held zero for the couple of years I've had it. What I do like about the rib mount is that I can interchange barrels on my gun without significantly altering zero. I can slap a 26" ribbed field barrel on the gun for dove season, switch to a canteliver scope mount rifled slug barrel for deer hunting in slug only zones, and then can switch over to the 20" ribbed barrel with Meadows Creek mount and Burris FF3 for turkey season. By going rib mount you can keep a very versatile outfit with out having to constantly re-zero your gun between barrel changes. All I do is take a shot or two after a barrel swap to verify my slug or turkey loads are still on target.
Old Tom I have the Meadow Creek on my SX3 now and I love it. Very very solid and I have no reason to change. If Meadow Creek made two protective fins on the side of the mount I think they'd sell a ton. I'm not nervous about the mount moving I'm nervous about the actual sight taking an impact after a fall. I love the field of view that the rib mount red dot offers also.
we can machine our protector to fit a rib. Now I feel the ONLY time one needs to be on the rib is on a O/U. Then it needs to be back. Your eyes will play game with them way out.

I'd go this route! This is what we have on all our turkey guns.
