shotgun rib mounts for holographic sight opinions

[sswv]

wanting to try a holographic sight on my 20ga 11-87 but it isn't drilled for a base so I'm "thinking' about trying one of the rib mounts. anyone have any experience with them. I had my 870 20ga drilled and tapped but having a hard time committing to doing it to the 11-87.

thanks in advance

X2, have a few of these set-ups. Works fantastic!

thanks for the replies.  does it have any effect on eye relief considering it would be farther away from the end of the receiver?

None on a reflex sight.

I have a Meadow Creek Mount with an AT3 Tactical ARO reflex on my 20 gauge and its amazing. Killed 2 birds with it last year and have had no issues at all. Shooting 3" TSS #9's

Does it matter how close or far away from the receiver it is ?

I've actually preferred the sight picture on the rib over the receiver. Further away seems to allow me to really see everything around me. I did add a piece to the stock to raise the comb for a better cheek weld. Other than that, she's lights out.

I actually like it out on the rib versus the receiver. Allows a better sight picture as the bird comes in, you have a greater field of view being able to look around the sight with moving your head...

I have both and have no problems switching between the two.  I shoot just as well with either mount.  Personally, I prefer it on the receiver if the gun is tapped but that is just me.  I like the rib well enough that I haven't sent that gun to be tapped.

Warne makes a nice one that clamps to the rib, it's new... I have both Meadow creek and Warne optic and I like the Warne better ...

I have limited experience with a Meadow Creek and from the little bit I have, I like it.

I have a meadow creek and like it.

With that being said, out of the last 10 turkey I have shot only 1 has been with the meadow creek and red fot sight. I like my bead guns more. But I shoot a shotgun alot from shooting sporting plays, dove, ducks and turkey. The bead is second nature to me.

the warne one is pretty nice, very straight forward, but if you have to use the small screw holes to mount your sight, those threads are very soft.  crazy soft.  Don't ask me how I know.  I would choose the meadow creek myself

I didn't have that problem myself ...
