I hear that the tactical models do but mine sure didn't.

I have drilled and tapped both my Benelli M2's for the Scalarworks sync mount. Zero issues

I did my own. It isn't as hard as you think. It took 20 minutes.

Apprehensive about doing it myself. Lol Being a Benelli I just would feel more comfortable having an expert do it.

Thanks

Yep I've had local gunsmith d&t 2 m2s. No issues

I've got the scalaworks mount and trijicon sro on one of them. It's a slick setup. That said I'm not sure it gets me much more than a ff3 with a Sumtoy base

I have installed a couple Scalarworks on 2 Mossbergs and a Benelli Super Nova Steady Grip gun. Both seemed to have plenty of thickness for a good amount of the forward screw to torque down properly. I guess that the M@ receiver is plenty thick for the front screw on the mount?

Bought a Scalarworks for my M! Super 90. I took it out of package yesterday and noticed that the Super 90 has a notch/groove in receiver that runs the full length of the receiver, and appears that the mount will not fit flush on top of the gun? Looks like there would be space underneath the mount??

Started this thread thinking I had bought an M2 but it turned out to be an M1 Super 90. It has a grooved section on top of receiver so it dosnt look like it will sit properly on the receiver? Anyone else run into this?
