Extended scope mount on slug barrel?

[Jeramie76]

Im almost sold on the SBE II, but for the price and awesomeness of it, plan on using for waterfowl and deer. My only question is does the slug barrel come with an extended scope mount or does the scope have to mount to the reciever. If there is no ext. scope mount can you still aim efficiently with the scope mounts on the reciever when hunting for waterfowl? If anyone has any input I would really appreciate it.

On the SBEII, the upper receiver is attached to the barrel as an extension.

If you have a slug barrel, then you will also have a spare upper receiver on which to mount your scope.

Remove the barrel, and the scope comes with it.

Slap your field barrel on and head for the duck blind!

The below image may help you to understand the concept better.

This is a SBEII I Photoshopped in Desert Camo.

The barrel and barrel extension are all one piece - one color. When you remove the barrel, it all comes off together.

 

 

Here's a picture of the lower receiver after the barrel has been removed.
