Title: Shotgun Scope Saddles?
Post by: SinGin on January 19, 2014, 10:30:18 AM
I was wondering what you all thought of them? I was thinking of getting one to mount a burris sight on instead of drilling and tapping my gun. Do they hold up well to the recoil and general abuse or should i spend the money and drill out my gun? Let me know any info i should need to know on them if you have used one, the good and the bad. Thanks Sam

I have used the b-square and I think the other was a weaver. They both worked great, but I preferred the B-square.

two pin guns are fine . Aka 870 etc. Win x2 just watch how tight , you can squeeze the frame.
One pin guns , SBE  etc. i had some movement , pivots with one pin.

I have 3 saddle mounts. Two B-Squares and a Millet. I have one B-Square on a Browning BPS 10 gauge. The other on a Benelli SBE and the Millet on a Rem 870 Super Mag. I have NEVER had a problem with any of them.

B-square here as well. Use one on my 870 shooting 3" slugs. Never had any problems. Matter of fact I bought the mount and scope combo for 50$ on eBay a couple years ago.
