Just bought a new 11-87 20 gauge and am now looking for a way to mount an optic on the gun.  The only saddle mount I've come up with is the Aimtech ASM-120.  What saddle mount would work with this gun?  What about having it drilled and tapped?

I would recommend drill and tap, but the saddle mounts do work.  B-square makes one also, one thing I have noticed is you cant tighten them too much or it will bind the action.

Binds the action for sure.Drill and tap is the way to go if you plan on it being a dedicated turkey gun.
