The very thought of drilling or tapping a hole in a shotgun to accommodate a sight can likely send shivers down one’s spine – because once it is “drilled and tapped” those holes can’t be removed. And while some may think that drilling and tapping is a DIY project, it requires a qualified gunsmith to do it right.
Instead of heading to the drill press, Warne Scope Mounts has introduced its Warne Shotgun Rib Mount, which was designed to cater to the needs of shotgun enthusiasts across various disciplines including for turkey, waterfowl, and upland bird hunting or clays, competition, and tactical applications.
Designed and manufactured entirely in the USA, it is crafted from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum and features an adjustable design that seamlessly fits most shotgun vent ribs. Its proprietary clamp provides effortless installation, securely attaching directly to vented rib barrels without the need to drill or tap the shotgun. The innovative mounting solution further provides a low-profile universal mounting plate compatible with the most popular red dot sights, including reflex, MICRO, and ACRO interfaces.
“The Warne Shotgun Rib Mount represents a significant advancement in shotgun optics,” explained Brian Motland, president and CEO at Warne Scope Mounts. “Our proprietary clamp design allows for a lower sight picture than Picatinny-mounted shotgun optics, enhancing the shooting experience for hunters, competitors, and tactical users alike.”
The new Warne Shotgun Rib Mounts, which weigh less than two ounces, are currently available at retailers nationwide for $61.99 (MSRP) – red dot sights not included.
