870 20ga scope base question?
May 28, 2023, 06:12:04 PM
I had my Stevens 301 20ga compact drilled and tapped for a scope base and I like the idea so much I'm thinking of doing my 870 20ga. I looked at Weaver and a 48454 or a 429M is what it calls for BUT, considering a 12ga receiver is a wee bit wider than the 20ga will this still fit?.
thanks in advance

20 and 12 use the same scope base.

I have just had a 870 20 gauge drilled for the weaver mount (48454) and it works great with a Vortex red dot.

thanks y'all. I just ordered a Weaver 429M. gonna strip out the receiver and get it drilled and tapped as soon as the base arrives.

done deal. I already have one 2x32 Pro Diamond for the 301 but haven't mounted it yet and I have another on the way. scopes on shotguns is a strange world for me right now but I'm thinking I'll be happy.

Is there a difference between the 48454 and the 429m. Do they have the same hole pattern ?

I may be wrong but I think the 48454 is gloss black and I know for a fact the 429M is matt black.
