Weaver Converta-Mount for Mossys and 870's?
« on: May 27, 2007, 08:17:32 AM »
Anyone ever see/use/know of anyone who has used the Weaver brand Converta-Mount system on their Mossberg or 870? It's a plate or rail that attaches to the left side of the receiver that is semi-permanent and then there is this mount that attaches to the rail. It looks like it would be a better way than the typical saddle type mounts. Just curious.

Have 2 of them, one on my sons Ithaca 37 12 gauge(they don't make it for an Ithaca anymore), and one on my daughters pre 77 Remington 1100 in 20 gauge. Have used them successfully for years, and they hold zero with the smoothbore slug barrels and Foster slugs. I personally believe they are much better than a saddle mount, as you can remove the top piece the scope is mounted on and put on a bird barrel and you're good to go. Put the slug barrel on the following day, mount the scope and again, you're good to go. Have never had a problem with them, and have never failed to hold zero for us.
I've even played with my daughters gun, and it holds zero even if the mounting screws for the top piece are not tight. Because the top piece fits into a machined groove on the side piece, the mounting screws for the top piece have to be REAL loose for it to wobble. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

I have used one of these for about 10 years and have had very good things to say about it.  I never knew you could buy parts, though.  Now I will have to get the ring mount portion for the turkey barrel/red dot to go along with the deer barrel/scope.
