Have an 870 SM that I just bought a FFIII for. I have been researching mounts for the 870. Question to you guys is who has used the B-Square, UTG or TMS mounts and looking for opinions/experiences with either. They all look about the same except the UTG has many cuts out of it, making it lighter I suppose and the UTG and TMS are about $20-25 cheaper. Or is there another one out there that I have not found? Any information/opinions would be appreciated.
I have a B-Square on my kid's 11-87 with a truglo red dot. To be honest - it's a real killing setup.
You will have to either shoot with your head off the stock a little, or do something to add comb height. Heck, if my 12-year-old can do it so can anyone!
Just be careful not to tighten the crews that replace the trigger pins too much or you will squeeze the receiver a little and your action will be harder to work. A little lock-tite (the one that doesn't need heat to release) on the threads will keep it secure and preserve zero with respect to the base.
The rail is slightly raised so you can actually use you ope sights for a real close shot or if your battery fails - but practice with it as the FOV is next to nothing.
Have at it - it works!

Thanks M R Ducks! I'm definitely leaning towards the B-Square. I like the idea of having a see-through mount just in case. The other ones I mentioned look the same and are cheaper. Just looking to save a few bucks, but then again, that has bit me in the butt before.
I have hed a B-Square on my super-mag for 4 years now with no complaints. I just ordered a FF III 3 MOA dot. Can"t wait to set her on there!
I have a b square on my Winchester 1300
I got the B-square in the mail today and also cannot wait to put my new FF III on it. Thanks for the input!
