So I love Scalarworks mounts. I think they're the best there is.
I was planning on chucking my Retay 20 gauge Turkey into the Bridgeport Mill to drill/tap to Benelli hole spacing and specs. After browsing the CAD drawings for the various mounts on Scalarworks site, the Mossberg mount hole spacing matches the Retay. The Retay, of course, has three holes but the front and back holes share the same 3.126" spacing of the Mossberg. You can't use the Scalarworks "B" screws to further bombproof the mount, but it's plenty secure with two screws. These aren't going into Ukraine for WWIII. You WILL have to source new screws. The Retay is drilled/tapped for M4x0.7 screws instead of the industry standard 8-40 for some reason. Stupid on Retay's part. You can get these at McMaster Carr. I'll include a link.

I used 8mm length which is as long as you'd want to go. 6mm will work, but not a ton of thread engagement with 6mm

Re: Retay 20 Gauge w/ Scalarworks Mount
Very nice
The Retay 20 I got a couple years ago from a member here is a nice lil gun
I put a Meadowcreekmounts on the vent rib and Burris FF4 on mine
That mount you used has been touted as the very best by SloppySnood for years

It's a pretty great mount. This is my third one and I'm hooked.
