salvarez Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 First post and apologies for beating a dead horse. I have been unsuccessful in reaching Badger Barrels. I don't want iron sights and prefer a barrel that keeps the scopes with it. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Who makes them? Thank you in advance.

Dudeman Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I don't know of anyone that makes them. I'm sure if someone offered them for sale to the public, they would sell more than a few. Good luck with the search and please post here if you have any luck. Happy hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudeman Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I've been pondering this. Would a competent gunsmith be able to add a cantilever rail to a barrel? Maybe braze one on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question and I found the hard way it cant be done. Voids Benelli warranty on a factory barrel and because of the receiver's construction, the gun smith refused to drill it for removable saddle mounts. Therefore the only way to do this right is to have a cantilever barrel that stays with the scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckcop Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Unless someone offers one up on GunBroker or Ebay, you're not likely to find one. Some mount maker out there might make a universal shotgun-barrel cantilever mount that you could have mounted to your barrel, but good luck with that. You could probably find a new 870 with a rifled barrel/cantilever scope mount for less than $400, probably not much more than what you'd pay for a Benelli barrel so equipped.

Your factory barrel would still be unaltered and you could keep your scope mounted to the cantilever that's attached to the Carlson. I've seen those barrels for $150.00-$200.00. Maybe ADCO could fit and align the rail for you. As for an "out of the box" cantilevered Nova barrel, I fear you'll never find one. If you want one bad enough, I think you're going to have to go custom. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked them out and if I read correctly there's are rifled chokes only, not barrel length rifling. Will try contacting them to find out for sure.
