Does anybody on here use their factory bead after removing their optic but still leaving the base attached to the receiver? I am wondering if the center of the Weaver style mount is low enough to allow me to still use the factory bead.
I am wanting to mount an optic on my SX3 but really don't want to remove the base screws after every season when I want to use a bead for bird hunting. Aluminum receiver doesn't lend itself to having screws ran in and out all of the time.
Or can the FFIII and Vortex be used for wingshooting??
You should be good, worst case you will see top of bead but not whole thing. I have done this on several guns and never had an issue.
My sbe2 allows me to keep the base on. I would probably stick the base on the receiver with something temporary and see how it looks.
I don't know about a Weaver base, but an FFIII on a 336 or SumToy base should be fine for wingshooting.
Not sure if you are screwed right into the receiver but could you get another barrel?
Base will be screwed directly to the receiver.

Well that rules that out then.
