I have the B-Square saddle mount scope on my Mossberg 500 for turkey season and for deer slugs. And here's what I've found:
In addition to having optics, the advantage of the saddle mount is being able to remove it without much trouble for ducks and skeet in between.
The disadvantages are (1) having to re-zero the scope twice a year and (2) needing a neoprene raised comb to see through the scope because it sits up so high.
I would suggest that if you have a *dedicated* scoped shotgun, get it drilled and tapped. If you are a one-shotgun hunter like I am (for now), get the saddle mount.

by labrador12I wonder if Hunter is getting kickbacks from his Russian, Ukrainian, and Chinese pals while the US is weakened by the big guy in the White House.
