Hows that light mount working out? Great build!

Due to me having surgery the day after I completed the build, I have yet to personally run anything down range. So this morning I went with my daughter and had her push 100 rounds thru the pipe. She used 80 rounds of Fiocchi 2-3/4" 00 Buckshot and 20 rounds of Remington 2-3/4 Magnum Buckshot 00 . We did make some adjustments to the SpeedBead after the first 20 rounds (It was a little high and right), after that, she was consistent with the targets. We really did not have much time to do anything other than that, but I would like to get out next month and run it a little harder and see what, if anything, will need to be adjusted for me.

She said that the recoil was a lot less than she was used to feeling with the same loads on her 870 with the factory stock.
She fired with the light on the entire time and it never missed a beat. So I was impressed with both the light and the mount. Also, the SpeedBead and mount never varied either. Still dialed in after 80 rounds.

Overall, she was really impressed and she looked good doing it too. She now wants me to "pimp" hers out as well. lol
