I am planning to have a gunsmith drill and tap the receiver and want to take him the base. Any suggestions on a good base? What bases have others used?

If it was for a youth or myself for that matter, I would recommend the marlin 336 base for the Fastfire 2 or 3. Not a fan of scope on turk gun for youth, Especially after I got my sweet scar from a scope on a turkey gun. lol

I must keep my head farther away from the scope than most. I shoot the Rem. 870 12 ga. SM with the knoxx RR stock. I have never yet (knock on my head) had it crease me. Now the guy I hunt with has the Rem 11-87 SM with the shur-shot, he gets cut nearly everytime. My wife has shot my gun and killed a couple nice birds with it. She has not been hit by the scope, knocked out of a chair and knocked over backwards standing from the recoil but not hit by the scope. I love scopes so I will definitely be putting one on the 20, which I am setting up for her, at least that is what I tell her.

Marlin 336 seems to be the ticket. I have one on my Nova and most of the 870 guys I hear from use it on their 870s as well.
