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?

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.

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.

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?

We salute you!

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.

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.
