Is there a solid, reliable saddle mount for an 870 20ga?
I really don't know that I want to drill and tap the gun just yet. What are the pros and cons of a saddle mount?
I used the weaver one that is made out of plastic. It held up fine and maintained poa/poi with my Fastfire. But, I don't like the way it looked so I drilled and tapped my 870 myself and am much happier.
I don't necessarily mind the looks as much as I don't have a local gunsmith I trust, nor do I want to do it myself. Not sure that leaves me many options though other than a saddle mount. I just want to be sure there aren't some major cons to them that I wasn't aware of.
You should have no problem then. I think Remington is having a sale on saddle mounts now. You may want to check their website, or get one off Amazon, which is where I got my weaver
