Yes, it's wrong.  Beyond that, I have to ask why. It's a shotgun, most likely shooting buckshot. Is a $300 sight really going to perform better than a plain bead sight at shotgun ranges with shotgun loads? Seriously.

Actually I use my shotgun mostly as a means of bear protection when I am fishing and its loaded with slugs. I don't use buck much anymore. For me its more of a big bore short range carbine. Plus even if it was buck the Eotech is faster that Iron while being more precise. I have MMC ghost ring sights which are nice but I like the Eotech.

If you look on the bottom of your sight, I believe there's some sort of warning about it being incompatable with "Weaver" rails. "Weaver" being something of a nebulous term, I'd look for something more definitely Picatinny.

Instead of drilling and tapping , you might want to get a KAC 870 RAS . If it doesn't work out for you , you can sell the components and not be out the 'machining' costs .

I've run several shotguns (and larger bore weapons) with an Eotech, and they have all worked very well.

Nothing wrong at all. I plan to do something similar once I get my second EoTech later this year.

Ahh, gotcha! With slugs I can see your need for a "precision" sight. I still question it with buck though. But hey, I've only shot literally thousands of rounds of full power buck and slug loads through my pump guns with nothing more than the OE bead or ghost ring sights, and never failed to hit accurately and quickly out to extended ranges. So what do I know.

Have several 870s with scope rails (the canaliver rail is too high to use well with the standard stock besides started over 30 years ago and nothing was out their execpt home made that was any good). All have worked great with Leupold 1.5 x 5 scopes or 1.75 x 6 scopes. Get the base which uses the larger screws to hold them on.

Ghostring sights are great. Its just the Eotech is faster. I like the Ghosting sights it has on it now and plan on keeping them on their as back up sights. I just love the Eotech. Pat |
