Title: 870 Drill and tap. Any thoughts on this inexpensive rail by weaver?

1st post, noob to the forum.

Decided to just drill and tap my 870 express magnum. Instead of buying a saddle rail. Any of you used this rail from midway? My only concern is that I could be getting what I pay for.. At the very least, Ill post up my thoughts. If I get no responses Ill just go ahead and order it.

By the way, my 870 wears a 20" SB with rifle sights. I plan to put my T1 on this for turkey hunting here in SC. I could probably just sell the t1 and by 2 more shot guns, or and 1187.. but what the hell!! 

Other suggestions welcome, Id just rather not spend a lot of cash on a simple rail.

No expert
Seems to me should work fine

I figured that as well. Really how could a rail get goofed up in manufacturing.. Ill post up the results when its done and get some lead down range.
