Fastfire III mounting question for SBE II

[Alaskan Hunter]

Hello All,
Newbie here, actually first post in this forum. I have an SBE II and I want to put a Fastfire III on top. I have read about the use of a Marlin 336 mount. I have a steady grip stock without the raised comb, so I need to mount the FF III as low as possible. Which is why I am thinking about the Marlin 336 mount. Here is my question: would it be possible to modify (drill the holes) the mount to attach at the rear 2 scope mount hole provided by the factory? Is there anyone out there that has mounted a FF II or III in this manner? if so can you send me a close up picture of the mount?

Thanks
Alaskan Hunter

Have the mount drilled to fit the gun. Many have done it

Or if you want lower then that get a speed bead mount

Dang that's a nice gun! I was thinking about doing the sperdbead mount instead. Any issues with yours over the 336 mount?

Well I definietly like how clean it looks. btw do you like your sbe2 with the steady grip stock? Been thinking about getting one and after seeing your set up I'm kinda sold on the idea now

Wouldn't turkey hunt without it brother. I like it that much. I like the speed bead because I can still use my bead if needed or to check if it's still on.

Yeah I figured it was worth it to get the steady grip. Can't find one in apg right now for a decent price, otherwise I would already have it. Pretty easy to install on the sbe2?

[reynolds243]

Yeah it's just a bolt on. Fyi keep checking eBay I got mine for $56 shipped to me in black then just had it dipped to match.

Yup been checking on eBay, hope to get lucky like you did. My gun is already a mix of max 4 and apg. Midaswell throw in a black steady grip! Who did your dip? Bottomlands is my pattern. Whoever did your gun did a dang good job
