remington 870

Hasn't scratched mine.  I've had both off once or twice.  Can't say that it won't scratch yours.   On a dedicated turkey gun, you won't take them off much and when you do, you have to resight your gun.

I have a saddle mount on my 870 and it has not scratched it. My 870 is a dedicated turkey gun and I take my saddle mount off with red dot still attached at the end of each season when I thoroughly clean my gun.   When it's all cleaned I put the saddle back on and store it until next year.  I have never lost my zero when removing the saddle with the red dot still attached  then reinstalling it 

Another thing I would like to add is back in 2017 I was working a bird and the battery in my red dot died. I was  still able to shoot the bird using the bead. That's the only time that ever happened to me but I was thankful I could look under saddle and still shoot the turkey using my shot gun bead.

SOUNDS LIKE IAM GOING WITH A B-SQUARE. BOT LIKE TOM 007 ASKED DOSE IT SCRATCH YOUR GUN ?

I got a B-Square for my Charles Daly Maxi Mag. I removed it several times. That gun was dipped, never left any marks and it was tight on the receiver. What I like about B-Square is the one I got had a see thought mount. I could look under it to see the bead sight if I need to.  Not sure if they are still making them like that or not... The one I have is 20 years old.

Good luck.

Speaking of 870s , I have a 12 ga original greenleaf that I'd get rid of if any one is interested

B Square mount.  Knock out the two pins for the trigger, slide the saddle on and there are 2 allen screws that replace the pins.  I have them on both of my 870 turkey rigs.  Work great.

Question, do you guys know if this scratches the side of the action? Just curious...thx

Haven't had a problem but I am careful on and off.  Express finish or custom dipped anyway.

x2 on the B-Square mount. Got it one on my 870 turkey shotgun that has been there for over 20 years and another on my brothers. No issues with it scratching the gun up when you putting it on or removing. The other item to note, is brother removes his every fall to duck hunt. When he puts it back on, it's been on target the last 3 years.
