Overview
Designed for hunters who want to add optics to a compatible 12-gauge setup without drilling or tapping, this mount provides a straightforward way to outfit a Remington 870 for scoped shooting. It attaches on both sides of the receiver for balanced support and is intended to handle hard-hitting slug recoil. Installation is described as quick, using the included bolts, wrenches, and instructions in place of the trigger group pins. Weaver-style rings are required and not supplied, so this is a practical mounting solution for users who already have the right ring setup.
