Anyhow, the factory rail is too high. Would you go with the Sumtoy rail or the Meadow Creek rib mount? "In Alabama, we prefer to kill small bucks on big properties"-Turkey247

It makes you see less of the sight and its more like just a dot floating out there, so I wouldn't want it mounted on the rib. I have a speed bead on my 870 that I prefer to having it mounted up top.

I dont have any experience with sumtoy or meadow creek mounts but i have put a speed bead on my sbe1 12 ga and on my m2 20ga and both have performed well for me. I have read where some say they are flimsy but both of mine have been rock solid. Maybe different brand shotguns require a little different design and that is where some of the problems come from? Again, im not saying its better than any of the others. Just curious as to why it is almost never brought up?

I was never interested in finding out firsthand because I don't want my sight mounted that low for shooting turkeys. SumToy can be mounted on the rib. I my rib drilled and tapped and a matching slot cut in the mount. I bedded it to the rib after I got it back. The Fastfire I have on there is kinda crunched from falling directly on a rock. Never have lost zero.
