So I got the fastfire III and I got just a basic mount. It's not a multi slot mount, so the fastfire hangs off the front. I shot it and it seems to be fine, however I wanted to get some opinions if this would be ok? I couldn't find the multi mount base at my local sporting goods store and I really don't want to drill and tap another hole in my gun. Any ideas if this is going to be ok to continue to us it this way?

I would think it would probably be ok.I had the same thing with my trs 25 sight hanging over so i had my smith cut another slot in the base and i shortened the base to fit it exactly using only 2 of the mounting holes in reciever.Looks really clean now.Haven't had any problems yet,mount and sight are rock solid!....ward
That's what I thought as well. I'm headed to shoot it a couple more times right now to make sure it's good.
You'll be fine with that setup. Shouldn't be any problems.
Will not work send me your set up and I will get rid of it for you....seriously tho ... I have had the same situation with my sbe2 for the last 3 years an have never had an issue...
Lets see a pic of the whole gun . Dipping my SBE2 in Bottomland may be after season project .

I would probably cry if I had to give that thing away. I've wanted a Benelli for so many years now. When I saw this bottomland pattern, I just couldn't hold back any longer. She had me from hello!

Here are a few picture of the gun. I'm proud of it. I actually saw a post on here the other day where someone had a muzzle loader dipped and it looked awesome!

That thing is so sweet!Thanks for the pics, ward
Who dipped it for you ?
Back to your question. I have seen guys make an additional slot in there Weaver base so their optic sat where they wanted it to . I think they used a flat file . Im not sure how precise it was but it worked fine and they didnt have any issues .

It came from benelli in bottomland. From what I hear they only made 500 but I'm not sure how true that is because Mack's prairie wings has them listed in the catalogue.
I put a picatinny rail on my SBE 2 when I mounted my Aimpoint 9000SC. I assune the super Vinci is tapped the same as the SBE 2?
