No, an absolute co-witness on a Benelli shotgun is physically impossible given the height of the iron sights and the height of either the Trijicon RMR or the Aimpoint Micro. You wouldn't want an absolute co-witness anyway because the iron sights would block half of the optic window. Both the IOR models will have an extreme lower-third co-witness that is 36% improved over the BOR/RMR .

Thanks, SD. That's what we discovered as well. However, we didn't want to simply chop the front off of a BOR/RMR: Relying on just 2 screws is asking for trouble if you were to ever drop your shotgun onto the optic. It's taken us this long to develop the IOR because it actually has 4 screws anchoring it to the receiver. This isn't hard to do if you have a top mounted sight like the RMR to install, but we wanted a design that would also potentially accommodate an Aimpoint Micro, which has it's mounting screws go in from the bottom. This was a **** of an engineering challenge but we persevered and we hope you all agree that it will be worth the wait.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately it is. #8-40 fasteners are very rare and high quality ones are difficult to come by. We've found that 1 in several hundred are slightly longer than the rest. It's always advisable to check if any of them protrude from the inside of the receiver after installation, and prior to re-inserting the barrel. If one does, a few minutes of filing the errant screw will usually remedy the situation. Our instructions recommend only 16in-lbs max, but I doubt that going to 18 would be the difference here. If anyone else has an issue, please feel free to contact us and we'll send you a cherry-picked shorter replacement screw.

We've just created a technical drawing to assist gunsmiths with drilling/tapping shotgun receivers that aren't drop-in compatible with the Scalarworks BOR/RMR. You can check if your receiver is generally compatible with the BOR/RMR using our 1:1 Scale PDF cutout document. Both files are available for download from the Download tab at the bottom of the BOR/RMR Product Page. Let us know if you have any questions.

Yikes. Ammo over errything.
