I have been looking at purchasing a pump-action shotgun, and Enjoy the Remington 870, I read that the 870MCS has a drilled receiver that accepts a weaver mount, and I was thinking of mounting a reflex sight on my shotgun. However I don't believe the MCS is available to civilians. are there other versions of the 870 that have that build in weaver mount as well? or would I have to buy the receiver off of Brownells? Conversely, would anyone recommend the Mossberg 500 over the Remington 870? Every time is search for information about the subject, I get a bunch of overly subjective views on it, almost dwindling to the point of, "It's better because I think it's cooler".
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, and btw I'm considering this for both home defense, and maybe a little skeet/trap shooting.
