Fitting Reflex sight to Shotgun-How

Post by Oldbloke » 26 Jan 2017, 1:50 pm

So, I have a 12 Sterling SB I'm thinking of fitting a reflex sight as my eyes are not improving. It will also allow me to use solids on deer in Vic if I wish. So How do you mount them? Is there an easy and cost effective way of doing this?

Is the rib 10-11mm wide?
If it is you should be able to use dovetail scope bases.
These fit my Stoeger Condor rib.

I'm also using rifle sights:

Yes, thats what I'm looking for. But my rib is 6mm. And the reflex needs to be a fair way along the barrel.
