It comes with a mount that goes between the stock and the receiver...

I just took it out again today and had a friend run another 50 rounds down the pipe. I still cannot shoulder it due to recovery from surgery. Been relegated to shooting my Springfield XDm 9mm Comp and XDs .45. Oh yeah. I removed the cheek riser and added an extra shim the red dot. Makes it so much easier to grab the dot in a hurry. Will post new pics when I can.

That is one nice Remmy.
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check Made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

Nice choice on the forend, flashlight, and elzetta mount! I also worked my way into those choices.

That's the mount I've been looking for! That solves my problems!

I like your setup, however, I would have mounted my sight as far forward as possible. Doing so would give you a better look at your target...IMHO.

Not crapping on your setup but that red dot is begging to be bent out of zero.
