Un-scope'ing a Rem 1100 skeet b
I got this in an estate sale "as is". At first I thought it was going to be a dedicated deer/slug gun. However, it looks like the scope mount (#885SGM) uses the existing holes for the attachment. I have not taken it apart yet but I am hoping I can get some replacement pins and us the gun for both deer and skeet.
Is anyone familiar with this kind of mount? Is there anything wrong with the idea of the scope being removable? It should maintain enough accuracy for a slug gun. |

Makes sense. It is a tasco scope.
Is there any value to this mount with a Tasco 2.5 x 32? My other thought is to just scrap it. It seems too cumbersome for the value. As you say, most deer shots are 25-75yrds. |

I am going to keep it as is. It is a "non-decision". My gunsmith thinks the holes were drilled out a bit to fit the screws.
I have a dedicated "deerslayer" |

If you call Remington's Service Dept & just/simply tell them the trigger group retaining pins got lost, they'll most likely send you a set.

I've handled a couple of Remington shotguns with the sidemount attached by screws through the pin holes. If the screws were kept tight, the pins should fit properly. If it got loose and the screws jiggled around quite a bit, that might be a whole different deal. I saw one that had this happen and the solution was to drive a couple of roll pins through the egged out holes. Keep in mind those pins are not a tight fit and are held in place by a small keeper spring.
If you remove the scope, what is your alternative sighting equipment? |
