Buy recommendations Watch my local gunsmith make 200$

This is the second time this happens (after 500 rounds and +115 rounds after that).

Because I re-screwed the picatinny rail screws and added blue loctite myself (which wasn't done from the factory), I've voided the warrant for this component according to Stoeger Canada. So basically I can't screw in my own loose screws without voiding warranty on the screws and threads.

I was gonna recommend all Beretta 1301 owners to loctite their thread when they buy their brand new shotgun, but I can't even properly recommend that.

You can get the Eotech size circle dot (60+ moa) in something as small as the SCRS or T2 clones. Alternatively the Holosun micro size (32moa) ring in almost all of their pistol optics. The smaller optic window will also force you to be more consistent with your cheek weld. This will likely refine your natural POA and improve recoil control in the process. Dedicated/direct low mount options are available for these styles of dots too. I started with a 509T first then moved on to HS503CU.
