[QUOTE="AlongCameJones, post: 3595633, member: 47875"] Thanks, okierider, but mounting something onto the receiver might damage the receiver's finish. The used Remington 870 I bought a few years back had a shell saddle mounted on the receiver with both pins replaced by bolts and nuts and that's how the bluing around the pin holes got marred. I pulled that ugly saddle right off my second-hand Remmy police pump but still kept it and its hardware. The seller supplied the shotgun with its original take-down pins, thankfully. Back in the 1990's I recall reading some article in a gun magazine, maybe Guns Digest, about scope mounting for shotguns and slug barrels. It seems like the feature said a barrel with cantilever mount is best because the mount is braised or welded right onto the barrel so the barrel and mount are one solid metal unit. This is supposed to hold a tighter zero as the (deer season) scoped slug barrel is taken off and put back on again repeatedly. One will have their vent-rib bird barrel on during duck or dove season or police barrel on for home security. It just seems easier to take the scope off the gun when the slug barrel is taken off too and the lines of the shotgun will also look much cleaner without a receiver mount. I think Remmy pioneered the cantilever scope mount earlier on and Mossy and others followed. Okierider, do you like Fosters because they are less expensive than sabots? [/QUOTE]
