What base/mount for an 870?

[Longspur321]

Plan on getting my little 20 drilled and tapped and put a Bushnell Trophy dot on top. What base do y'all recommend? Tried searching but didn't find anything... Thanks

Remington told me that the 12 and the 20 gauge shotguns had the same radius on the top of the receivers, therefore whatever base fits a 12 will fit the 20. I hope this helps your search.

This.  I bought a base for the870 at Walmart and my gun smith cut it down to three holes to fit the 20 gauge receiver and then drilled and tapped the receiver to match.  I mounted the bushnell TR25 red dot sight.  Fit perfectly.

Thanks guys. Dug some more and saw a couple guys on here using that EGW base. Might look at that one closer.

   I had the EGW mounted to my Benelli M2 20ga. Real nice fit .....

It's a Weaver base 429 . Should fit your 20 well . I drilled my 11-87 20 and mounted  a 429 Base very easily . Cut mine in half and just drilled two holes . Using a very short Sight  . Works well done the same thing on my 11-87 twelve been hunting with it for a # of seasons .. Gonna try the 20 this year . Good luck  . David
