Red Dot On Shotgun

[chadwimc]

My friend and I were discussing his failing eyesight and shooting. He wants to mount an Eotech type scope or red dot on his shotgun. This is what I came up with tinkering in the garage. I used an old Weaver style rail I had in the junk box. I drilled the shotgun rib, then mounted the rail. It works like a scout style rifle scope. They eye relief is the same no matter where you mount the scope.We have yet to try it with 3" shotshells.

Looks like a good set-up - hope it works for him - I use a red dot on my Rem -870 for turks - its mounted on a cantilever and works great - i'm sure your friend will like it once he gets use to it - i taped a spare batt to my gun stock

take care

chadwimc,
Keep us posted on how well this set up works, as I'd like to try it myself. I've been considering a red dot for my shotgun for geese, crows, fox, coyotes, etc. So far, I've read nothing, but good things about this type of set up. :)
