Red dot mounting

I mounted mine on the OEM Picatinny rail, but am not thrilled with this solution - I have to use a riser cheekpiece on the stock to get my eye behind the optic, plus the rail shakes loose over time (likely from slow deformation of the threads in the aluminum receiver).

 

I have a friend who adapted the Benelli version of the SpeedBead to fit his Versa Max - apparently it just took some filing on the mount where it sandwiches between stock and receiver. ETA: it looks like Burris offers a mount for the Versa Max now: LINK

 

A rib mount is a very popular solution, and the sight travels with the barrel making the gun a bit more flexible in configuration, but this approach does require gunsmithing and - as JJ indicated - does make for a smaller field of view.
