UTG 870 Optic Mount, 12 Gauge

• Receiver-Mounted Picatinny Platform: The full-length top rail gives a shotgun a stable optic interface for red dots and other Picatinny-compatible sights, making it easier to add aiming equipment without changing the basic handling of the firearm.
• Bead Sight Access Preserved: The mount is shaped to leave access to the factory bead sight intact, so the shotgun retains a simple backup sighting option even after an optic is installed.
• Integrated Shell Carrier: The included removable 4-capacity shell carrier keeps extra ammunition on the gun, which is useful for defensive setups, practical use, or fast reloads in the field.
• Shotgun-Specific Fit: Built for 12 Gauge Remington 870 and 870DM platforms, the mount is designed around the receiver and chamber area for a more secure fit than a generic rail solution.
• No Permanent Modification Required: Installation does not require permanent changes to the shotgun, which helps preserve the original configuration while still adding an optic-ready mounting point.

About the UTG Mounts Series

UTG Mounts covers Leapers' broad range of optic mounting solutions for hunting and shooting applications, from scope rings and cantilever mounts to firearm-specific rail systems. Within the wider UTG lineup, these products are built to provide a practical bridge between the firearm and the optic, with an emphasis on repeatable alignment, straightforward installation, and compatibility with common sighting standards such as Picatinny. The family includes both general-purpose mounts and more specialized designs shaped for particular rifles or shotguns.

Across the series, the design approach is functional rather than decorative: durable metal construction, secure clamping geometry, and layouts that support real use on sporting and tactical firearms. Some UTG mount products focus on scope tube support, while others, like dedicated receiver mounts, convert a firearm into an optic-ready platform. That makes the series relevant to users fitting red dots, magnified optics, or accessory combinations where a stable mounting surface matters as much as the optic itself. In practical terms, UTG Mounts are intended to simplify optic installation while keeping the setup robust enough for regular range use and field carry.

About the UTG 870 Optic Mount, 12 Gauge

The UTG 870 Optic Mount, 12 Gauge is a dedicated receiver mount for shooters who want to equip a Remington 870 or 870DM with a modern optic while keeping the shotgun practical and compact. Its main role is to add a stable Picatinny interface on top of the receiver, opening the door to red dot sights and similar aiming solutions that can speed up target acquisition compared with a bead alone. Because the rail is a full-length design with 14 Picatinny slots, it gives useful flexibility in optic placement and eye-position setup.

This mount also stands out because it combines the rail with a removable 4-capacity shell carrier. That adds immediate ammunition storage on the gun itself, which is especially useful on defensive or utility shotgun setups where quick access to spare shells matters. The mount keeps access to the bead sight intact, so the shotgun still retains a simple fallback aiming reference. Clearance for 3.5" and under chambers helps it suit common 12-gauge configurations, and the firearm-specific fit avoids the compromise of a universal mount.

In use, the aluminum construction keeps the assembly durable without making it unnecessarily bulky, while the 0 MOA rail keeps the optic in a neutral alignment suited to close- and mid-range shotgun sighting. For shooters building a practical hunting, defensive, or range shotgun, this UTG mount offers a straightforward way to add optics and spare ammunition without permanent modification.

About UTG

UTG is a brand of Leapers, Inc., a company founded in Michigan in 1992 and headquartered in Livonia, Michigan, United States. Leapers develops optics and shooting accessories for hunting and shooting sports, with a catalog that includes riflescopes, mounts, rings, and bipods. The company began with a compact 4×28 scope as its first product, and it has since expanded into a broad accessories and optics range for sporting and tactical use.

Within this portfolio, UTG is particularly well known for practical mounting solutions and support equipment that help shooters configure firearms for specific roles. Leapers later expanded its manufacturing and product development footprint with the UTG PRO line introduced in 2009 and an optics research and manufacturing center in Taiwan in 2018. That background is relevant here because a product like this shotgun optic mount reflects the brand's long-standing focus on functional firearm accessories rather than optics alone.
