Hello, I was thinking of getting a B-Square mount for a red-dot scope and a Tacstar 6-rd side carrier for my 12-ga Remington 1100 (Wal-Mart special). Can both be mounted to the shotgun at the same time?

This is just for range fun and to try some new toys.

You couldn't use the Sidesaddle with the side-mount scope base, since the latter uses the same trigger pins as does the Sidesaddle: also, the side of the scope mount covers the same area that the Sidesaddle would. The picture below is from the B-Square Web site, and illustrates the difficulty:

However, if you have a vent-rib barrel, you could use the B-Square Universal Cantilever mount, which mounts to the vent rib, ahead of the action:

You might have to trim the top of the Sidesaddle, as it might protrude upward sufficiently to interfere with the rear extension of the cantilever mount. This should not be difficult.

Both options can be viewed here (http://www.reliablehost.com/bsquare/shotguncant.html), with full details.
