Can someone please clarify the options for mounting a FF3 on an SBE2?? 
Thanks

if you have it drilled an tapped you can just mount it with the picatinny mount on a weaver base. I am not aware of a mounting plate they make for a SBE2 or you can buy the speedbead mount and do it that way.

What's the difference in a weaver mount vs a marlin??  Do you have to make any adjustments in order to install them??

Here is the Marlin 336 mount on my SBE 2.  You will have to have an extra hole drilled and tapped to intall it.  It's the best set-up though.

Do you still need the picatine mount with that marlin base??  The extra hole that you create, is that in the base or the receiver?  Thanks for the replies

No you don't need anything but the 336 mount and the sight.  The extra hole goes in the reciever.  The existing holes on the gun don't line up the the 336 mount.

Kyduck1,
                  Spoke with Rob Roberts at Gobbler Guns (Who does Benelli's Custom Shop SBEII's) he said the following Warne base, makes for a clean mount using the Burris FF. Obviously you only need 1 of the two bases. This link is from Midway USA Shooting.

PS: The beauty of this is not having to have additional drilling and tapping on your receiver.

Wonder if you need a picatinny mount for the weaver base to work??
What is the difference in the weaver and the marlin 336??

This is what this set-up would look like.

Got it...I can for sure see the difference. 
Is the SKU #410216 from optics planet the right model of 336??
Thanks again for being so helpful

01Foreman400,
                           Man that is the first close up I have seen of the 336 setup...WOW! Nice and sleek and low to the receiver. I haven't done my gun yet....and I believe your picture has convinced me this is the way to go. What brand of 336 mount do I need and possibly a part number? Thanks again for the info and your time!
