Title: Mossberg 500 red dot?
Post by: Hunt4spurs87 on December 21, 2018, 09:31:48 PM
I've got an old 500 in woodland camo, 24in barrel ported and I absolutely love this gun. Looking for rail and red dot recommendations since the receiver is drilled and tapped. Was thinking of a vortex venom or Burris fast fire 3?

I have no experience with the venom but I do have a ff2 and a ff3 and I love em. I may look at vortex next because of the lifetime warranty. Either way I don't think you can go wrong.

How does the FF3 mount just straight to the Picatinny rail?

I have one of the same gun's with the NWTF medal in the stock, i change out the stock for adjustable tactical stock, mounted a weaver rail and mounted a Bushnell TRS 25 red dot ... it's a killing machine ...

If going with Burris or Vortex I would put one of our bases or a burris 336 base.   

Now if you go with a scope you need a weaver rail .

So just order the Burris 336 base, and the fast fire? Does it still need a Picatinny mount or what?

No... order a Burris 336 mount (410333) and an FF3 with no mount (300235 or 300237 depending on your preference for dot size)
