BPS drill and tap

[TNRino]

Looking to get my BPS drilled and tapped to add a red dot for turkey? any sug. on a gun smith near Johnson City to do this and what kind of price would i be looking at?

There are red stick on front sights you can use if you dont have any luck tapping the rib..I have one on my trap gun.

Gunsmiths can charge anywhere from $10 to $30 a hole for drilling and tapping.

No clue as to any shops in your area but from what I have heard from a few guys around here they are going for $20 to $30 per hole around here.

No telling how many of those things I used to do every year right before turkey and deer season back when I was still on the bench.

I will say, those tiny little taps in blind holes will make ya or break ya.

Once you learn the tricks of the trade they ain't much problem.... IF you got a good cnc readout.

I have considered the saddle mount but wasnt sure if it would scratch the finnish of the gun. I had a friend shoot it today to see if it was just me but we are both shooting left around 2"+ at 20 yards and ofcourse worse with more. So now wondering if maybe my barrel is bent or rib...... Ive had it around 3 years + but never really shot at still targets. thought i would use it for tukey and missed a couple last year. So really tried to pattern it this year but everything comes up left. still shoots great tight pattern just left. not sure what to do now. Got it at bass pro and thinking of seeing if the can send it back to browning to see what they say? Any ideas or anyone have a problem like this.
