You're missing the point. Regardless of the irons you wont be able to get anything approximating a proper cheek weld or consistent firing position, even if you swapped to a Magpul SGA stock with risers.
The weight of the optic in relation to the mounting rail and how well the EO-tech will tolerate 12 gauge recoil are also potential issues.
I can’t speak to the Eotech, but I used an Aimpoint on my 11-87 at Gunsite’s 260 with no issues. Also have used an Aimpoint on a .375 H&H, .416 Rigby, and .458 Lott without issue. A micro is the only Aimpoint I have ever broken.
Ten to twenty years ago, when the 870 was “the fighting shotgun,” Hans Vang had a piece on why the 870P was superior to a regular 870. I used the Police model, but when making a great 870, went with an older Wingmaster, that was slicker yet than a 870P. The only downside to a Wingmaster, if you want to call it a downside, is they were 2.75 not 3 inch.
Today, for so many reasons, the 1301 has become the Glock 19 of combat shotguns.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I’m not a 1301 owner yet, but I can’t see something as tall as this from base to centerline of optic being a good choice on a shotgun of any sort, and still expect to get anything close to a checkweld with any stock.
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
I mean, you can put it on there but it's probably going to rip the rail clean off the gun in relatively short order. The SAS uses the EOThing on their Benellis but for specific reasons and the queen pays for their stuff when it breaks.
In addition to a lack of cheek weld and the plethora of issues that brings to the table.
