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.

I've heard rumblings online from others that had similar issues when mounting heavier/larger optics on their 1301s. I know this PSA is arriving too late but I'd stick with a micro dot or T2 footprint optic instead. They work better with the OEM stock and being able to still get a decent cheek weld.

This is what i came to say.

Throw the picatinny rail out. If your mounting to it, especially with an optic like OP is using your not getting good cheak weld.

I would get a CROM and which ever dot its cut for and then you get rid of the OEM rear site as well.
