Title: Help Please - want to mount red dot (weaver base) on Mossberg 500
Post by: PiNkPaNtHeR on April 08, 2015, 06:06:42 PM: Has anyone mounted a scope on a Mossberg 500 12-ga? I've had a scope that I purchased from Cabela's for a couple of years now and would like to mount it on the shotgun. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

These are more accurate than the ones that mount to the action since the barrel does not lock into the action on the shotgun (http://www.amazon.com/Weaver-No-Gunsmith-Converta-Shotgun-Mount/dp/B00162QKT6/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1428544350&sr=1-2&keywords=scope+mount+mossberg+500 (http://www.amazon.com/Weaver-No-Gunsmith-Converta-Shotgun-Mount/dp/B00162QKT6/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1428544350&sr=1-2&keywords=scope+mount+mossberg+500)). This is probably not a concern for turkey hunting.
