Overview
Designed for hunters who want to add optics to a Mossberg 500 12 gauge without gunsmithing, this saddle mount attaches through the receiver’s existing screw and pin holes for a secure fit. Its contoured design is made to sit cleanly on the receiver while leaving the shotgun’s operation unobstructed. Multiple slot positions allow eye relief adjustment for scopes and electronic sights, and the open sight channel preserves the option to use iron sights. Two 1" Weaver-style rings are included, giving you a straightforward mounting setup for field use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for the Mossberg 500 12 ga., so it is not a universal mount and is limited to that receiver pattern.
- It uses existing screw/pin holes for attachment, which avoids gunsmithing but also means fit depends on the shotgun’s existing receiver setup.
- The open sight channel preserves iron-sight use, but optic placement still has to work around the receiver-mounted layout and available eye-relief slots.
- Two 1" Weaver-style rings are included, so the mount is ready for compatible optics, but additional ring sizes or mounting hardware are not part of the package.
