Default RE: remington 1100 with rifled barrel

I have a "Hastings" rifled barrel on an 1100 Rem.
It does not have a scope mount canalever (or what ever its called) incorporated onto the barrel. So I had to use an "A-Square" mount that bolts to the side of the reciever for a scope mount (2.5 power Bushnell). I found if I tightened the bolts too much the gun would not cycle as an auto-loader and became a single shot. If I losened the bolts too much the scope mount would move up and down a bit and I could not get satisfactory groups. I had a gun smith use barrel bedding epoxy between the mount and the reciever and tighten the bolts only after the "glue" set. I now shoot 2 3/4 inch groups at 100 yards with Federal Sabot slugs.

I forget what I payed for the Hastings barrel.
