Trijicon RMR base?

[JKF]

Do they make a low profile base for this sight?

[CrustyRusty]

You can use a low weaver or low picatinny mount that attaches to whatever base you have or want.  If you have a weaver base on your gun you will need a low weaver mount for the RMR.  The mounts attach to the RMR and are sold separately dpeneding on your needs.

Do they make one for a drill and tap similar to the marlin 336 and fastfire?

[CrustyRusty]

Sorry, dont know about that.  I always use a pic rail for a scope base

The burrus optics guy told me that the marlin 336 rail mount is a low picatinny rail. So the Trijicon RMR low picatinny mount should work on the marlin 336 rail mount. I plan on trying this out soon.

It would be ideal if Trijicon would come up with a direct mounting system similar to the Burris 336 mount for the FF systems which dispense with the need for Picatinny rail mounting system.

They have a few bases similar to the Marlin 336. They are for pistols like Glock S&W and such. Would any of these work on a shotgun possibly if drilled and tapped ?

[ncturkey]

They could. I would call trijicon and find out if it would work.

I was looking at the same option (RMR), but decided on the Aimpoint 9000SC. That decision was because I thought the 9000 would transition to deer / slug bbl and longer ranges better than the RMR... Anyway; while researching the RMR I found that the Picatinny mount was lower. I only had photos to reference, but the Pic mount is a one piece unit and the Weaver mount is a two piece unit. Also; the Weaver appears to be thicker (higher). Below are links to the pix:

Low Weaver)    http://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product3.php?pid=RM34W

The pic mount will work with a Weaver base, but a Weaver mount won't work on a pic rail. The profile of the two are (almost) identical, but tolerances are much tighter on the pic -- they're milspec. Cost wise, for a Benelli anyway:  Pic rail is $45.00 and Weaver base is $25.00.

Good luck and happy hunting. . . David

Great info.

 Which would be better mount to go with the pic or weaver

Pic rail gives more sight options

The Trijicon RM05-33 attaches directly to a Picatinny rail.  It does not fit well on a weaver #93 base because of the Weaver round vs Picatinny square grooves.  It may work...But???
The thinnest "Lowest" Picatinny rail I could find to fit the Benelli SBE II was also by Trijicon.  It is 1/2 the thickness of the rail that came with my Super Nova Turkey Special.
You can order it direct from their web site.

I think it's about $63.
Good Luck!

ANother direction is to find out if the Trijicon has the same footprint as we or another manufacturer has.  If the footprint is the same then you should be able to use someone else's base.  Just a thoght.
