Picked up a Tristar over and under shotgun with the intent to use for Turkey hunting assuming I actually go LOL. The gun has a rib on top but its not dove tailed. I know some one on here added a red dot to their over and under. So my question is how they went about it. My assumption is the rib was drilled and tapped.
Adding a red dot to a over and under ?

I looked at clamp on mounts similar to the one posted above, but decided to go with a drill/tap mount from SumToy to get the sight closer to me. Either option works very well, just depends on your location preference.

I did similar on a 410 O/U. Used a Sumtoy mount and had a local gunsmith drill and tap the rib. Worked great!
If you have the money, Aimpoint Micro S-1 is awesome
Thanks that looks like the route I would like .
I actually picked up a vortex viper red dot at a decent price so thats will be my optic. I was concerned with the distance so I need to check that out too. Thanks for the replies
What is the model of the Sumtoy mount?
I'm not sure what it's called other than a rib mount. I called him and told him what I was looking for. He had me measure the width of the rib and he sent it out.
Ok thanks i give him a call today. Thanks
