🔍 What Is a Shotgun Red Dot Mount?
A Shotgun Red Dot Mount is a purpose-built mounting platform that allows you to securely install a mini red dot optic on your shotgun. These mounts are designed to:
- Withstand the recoil of 12-gauge loads
- Fit flush with rounded or flat-top receivers
- Offer compatibility with popular red dot footprints
- Maintain zero in field and tactical environments
Most mounts are low-profile and made from aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring strength without unnecessary bulk.
