Mounting a rail and red dot on the STOEGER M3500 | Step by step!!!

#EGW #stoeger #hawkeoptics #turkeyhunting #reddot
In the video, I'll show you how to mount a picatiny rail, and red dot to the Stoeger M3500. This is a newer model that has threaded insert collars in the drilled and tapped riser to fit 8-40 mounting screws.
Turkey season is right around the corner, this is one of my final steps before we step into the woods!

    Red Dots are ten times faster to get on sight than looking down a barrel. Good job. Since the rail is made for a rifle too, it's rounded and not flat. So I ended up milling the sides down so the center of the rail will fit down in the receiver grove and not see daylight under it.

    HI lee, always wondering how you like it. One thing about lock-tight, usually most manufacturers' colours, such as red are meant to not be removed and blue will release at a certain torque. This mistake can be costly. Use mine on an MK4 with great results. Thanks for the video

    This mount has worked perfectly for several years. Taken turkeys and deer with it. Removed it this year for iron sights, but zero issues with the mount.

    I have had a Stoger 3500 for about 8 years now, love it. No issues, no nothing, shoots everytime. I would highly recommend it for Turkey or anything else you want to do with it outside.
