Title: Sights for H&R Topper
Post by: USAFTurkey on January 14, 2016, 11:37:20 AM
I bought a H&R single 12 ga.  I had them fit a 20 ga barrel, but it has a vent rib.  Any ideas on the he best way to mount a red dot?  Can the rib be drilled and tapped?  Or, would you recommend something else?  Thanks.

Never used it, but it appears to be an option.

I looked at the b-square, but it seems to get very mixed reviews.  Many saying, it flexes where it isn't attached and keeping zero is difficult.  I have no first hand experience with it, so I can't say for sure.

Sent my gun to Sumtoy customs. He threaded the barrel, made a choke and drilled the barrel for a rail. (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160116/8a5921b7f43b2b4c49da14463754c36c.jpg)
Little closer view after the camo job.
I had him cut the rail to fit my red dot.

Yes.  Is that the b-square?  Looks great!

It is.  I have that setup for 10 yrs and haven't had any issues with it.  It's a solid mount and you will notice the added weight but nothing compared to a pump or auto.  I have another H&R with the same barrel but with William Fire Sights.  That's what I'm comparing the weight too.

Well, I got the B square in and put my red dot (true glo multi reticle) on, but it has the sight so high I can't rest my head on the stock and see through the sight.  I have to put the bottom of my chin on the stock to see through it. :-\
