Title: 870 compact or mossberg 500 bantam

Just can't decide between 870 compact not drilled or tapped or 500 bantam that is,  if you add saddle mount to 870 how much weight will it gain compact comes with stock kit, bantam doesn't, just like to hear your opinions on those who own both

Go with the 870 and then get it drilled and tapped. Most gunsmith charge somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 per hole
