  1. Thanks for your feedback. What make and model of velcro and shot cards did you experience this with? The Esstac cards + Industrial strength Velcro have been rock solid for us over the 7 years we've been using them. Has anyone else experienced less than stable performance using velcro cards?
  2. Thanks for your understanding. We have some really cool new Benelli products in the late stages of development, but not a side saddle. If we ever do try to tackle that, whatever we release would have to be close in weight and profile to the soft velcro ones, while bringing something extra to the table. If we may ask: what did you dislike about the soft solutions, or conversely, what do you prefer about the standard hard ones?
  3. A bit of acetone will take off any adhesive without leaving a mark which is more than can be said to most anything metal that is pressed against a receiver, and as the photos we'll post this week will show; it's very slick looking when all is said and done. Thanks for posting that link.
  4. Wow, Thanks for that link, SD! That looks like a great alternative to the Esstac cards. We wholeheartedly agree that these soft options are better in every way to the machined or plastic ones we've seen so far.
  5. This is absolutely the right place for that question. We personally use and recommend Esstac shotgun cards. All you need to attach them to your receiver is some industrial strength velcro. We'll post some pics this coming week to illustrate. The benefits of this system over rigid side saddles are numerous: lighter, lower profile, removable, compatible with M4 mag pouches so you can carry tonnes of them, and lastly cheaper. Rigid side saddles add a lot of bulk and weight to a shotgun and those are the sorts of things that we started Scalarworks to eliminate.
  6. Thanks! We're glad you're happy with your purchase. If you're really happy, please consider writing a review on our bundle shop page.
  7. Officially Loctite 222 (pink) is more appropriate for that size of screw, but unofficially we've used 242 (blue) on most things and it's always worked out.
  8. Thanks for your support, everyone. We have some cool new Benelli accessories in the pipeline for everyone to look forward to.
  9. We sold out of the RM06 bundles in under 4h... We've got more RMRs on order but the lead time is 4-6 weeks. Our apologies to anyone that didn't get one this go around. Please sign back up to be auto-notified when they're in-stock.
  10. We've put up the shop page for our forthcoming BOR/RMR bundle. We've got some RM06 sights in stock and are just waiting for our next batch of BOR's - due at the end of January. Please sign up to be auto-notified when they're in-stock.
  11. I would guess so. Trijicon don't give both specs for the RM06, only for manual. But like Benelliworks says, at the middle manual setting they claim 4 years constant on.
  12. That's correct. At $639 you can get a BOR/RMR+RM06 for $40 less than a BOR/RMR alone with a much cheaper standalone RM01, and only $29 more than a BOR/RMR with the very cheapest Dual illuminated RMR.
  13. Thanks for your great M4 pics and feedback on the RM01. We've been running RM01's for over a year on various Benellis and they are fantastic for all of the reasons you mentioned. Yes, it's true that when shooting from dark into light the dot intensity isn't ideal but it's still adequate to make good shots. We've encountered this scenario many times in training. Especially when shooting from a covered firing line or in some fanciful 3-Gun stages. Incidentally, this is the Achilles heel of the Dual Power battery-free RMRs like the RM03-04-05-08. We've found this problem to be far worse on the Dual Power models and pretty much a deal breaker for us. After careful consideration, we've decided to bundle the adjustable RM06 with both our BOR/RMR and upcoming LDM/RMR Quick-Detach Picatinny mounts. These are the main reasons we opted for the RM06 over all of the rest: 3.25MOA dot size is perfect for anything from 0-300m Has Auto-Intensity feature like the RM01: Simply press both +/- buttons simultaneously and release. Can be switched off, unlike RM01. Has none of the drawbacks of the Dual Power models. Basically it encompasses what's great about the RM01 and adds manual overrides for those that want them. We're also pleased to announce that our BOR/RMR+RM06 bundles will be priced at only $639! We'll be posting an ETA once Trijicon gets us a delivery date.
  14. Thanks, SD. We like the RM01 as well. The 3.25MOA dot feels just right. To answer your earlier question about helicoils; no, the BOR/RMR doesn't have helicoils. The #6-32 holes are just plugged before anodizing. We cold form the threads and the BOR/RMR is made from ultra strong 7075-T6.
  15. That's correct. No washers needed. The current BOR/RMR comes with its own screws. It no longer uses the proprietary factory Benelli M4 screws. Thanks for share your RMR choice.
  16. We're an Authorized Trijicon Reseller and we will be offering Trijicon RMR + BOR/RMR bundles at a discounted price soon. Please sound off with what RMR model you currently use with your BOR/RMR or want to use with a BOR/RMR in the near future. Our favorites are the LED 3.25MOA models RM01 (automatic) and RM06 (adjustable). What are yours?
  17. Thanks for posting up those pics! We were overly cautious... We didn't want to be responsible for anyone stripping their receivers and we found that 10 was sufficient. We will probably revise that up in the future.
  18. For all who are interested; the Scalarworks BOR/RMR is back in stock and ready to ship. We now offer free USPS Priority Mail shipping and free swag with every order.
  19. Quick update for everyone interested in the BOR110: Scalarworks and our retail partners are all sold out and we expect our next batch of BORs to be ready 6-7 weeks from now. We wish it was sooner but our production team is very busy with our new line of Low Drag Mounts for AR15 compatible platforms. Thanks for your support and your patience.
  20. It didn't make sense to use at first. Then we realized that a Picatinny rail on a shutgun is a quintessentially American idea and an Italian engineer who did some research in 1998 while designing the M4 would have likely deferred to how these things were mounted to thin walled receivers in America. Namely, #8-40 weaver rail screws (the commercial predecessor to the M-1913 standard). We only finally accepted this once we got confirmation from someone senior at Benelli USA. But like you said, they are very close to the metric, and lots of people run metric just fine.
