UTG 590 Optic Mount, 12 Gauge

• Dedicated Mossberg 500/590 fit: This mount is built specifically for 12 gauge Mossberg 500 and 590 shotguns, giving a stable optic platform without the compromises that often come with universal saddle-style mounts.
• Full-length Picatinny top rail: The extended rail provides generous space for red dot sights and other Picatinny-compatible optics, making it easier to position the optic for proper eye alignment and a balanced shotgun setup.
• See-through design: The mount keeps access to the bead sight intact, so the shotgun can still be used with its original sighting system when needed.
• Aluminium construction: The aluminium body keeps weight under control while providing the rigidity needed to hold zero under repeated 12 gauge recoil.
• 10-year warranty: A clearly stated 10-year warranty adds long-term support for a hard-use mounting component that is exposed to recoil, weather and regular handling.

About the UTG Mounts Series

UTG Mounts covers Leapers' broad range of mounting solutions for optics, with an emphasis on practical fit, repeatable alignment and compatibility with common shooting platforms. Within the wider UTG lineup, these mounts serve shooters who need a straightforward way to add optics to rifles, shotguns and other firearms without unnecessary complexity. The family includes dedicated mounts, Picatinny-compatible designs, scope rings and cantilever configurations, each aimed at matching the mounting method to the firearm and optic rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

In practical terms, the series is defined by robust aluminium construction, rail-based compatibility and platform-specific designs that simplify installation. Some models in the wider family focus on scope tube mounting, while others, such as dedicated shotgun mounts, are made to create a secure optic interface on firearms that were not originally set up around modern sighting systems. That makes the series relevant for hunting optics, range use and general shooting applications where a dependable mount matters as much as the optic itself. The common thread across the range is a focus on solid attachment, sensible dimensions and field-ready durability.

About the UTG 590 Optic Mount, 12 Gauge

The UTG 590 Optic Mount, 12 Gauge is a dedicated shotgun optic mount designed for shooters who want to add a red dot or similar sight to a Mossberg 500 or 590 while keeping the installation practical and the handling familiar. Its main advantage is that it combines a side-mounted support structure with a full-length Picatinny top rail, creating enough mounting space for different optic footprints and eye-position preferences. That flexibility is especially useful on defensive or field shotguns, where optic placement can affect speed, balance and access to controls.

The design also preserves access to the bead sight, which is an important practical detail on a shotgun. It allows the firearm to retain its original sighting reference instead of fully committing the setup to an optic-only configuration. The 178.00 mm overall length gives the rail enough usable surface for compact sights and other Picatinny-mounted accessories, while the 0 MOA inclination keeps the mount neutral and appropriate for close- to medium-range shotgun use where elevation bias is unnecessary.

Its aluminium construction helps keep the mount rigid without adding excessive bulk, which matters on a 12 gauge platform that already generates substantial recoil and is often carried for long periods. The 63.00 mm height reflects the mount's side-saddle style architecture, giving the optic a raised, accessible position while maintaining a layout suited to fast target acquisition. Finished in black, it matches typical shotgun and optic setups and keeps the overall build visually consistent.

About UTG

UTG is the product brand of Leapers, Inc., a company founded in Michigan in 1992. Leapers is headquartered in Livonia, Michigan and develops optics and shooting accessories for hunting and shooting sports. Its product range includes riflescopes, mounts, scope rings and bipods, which gives the company broad experience in the interface between firearms and sighting systems.

That background is relevant to a product such as a dedicated shotgun mount, because reliable optic mounting depends not only on machining but also on understanding recoil, fit and real-world firearm use. Leapers expanded its manufacturing and development capabilities over time, including the launch of the UTG PRO line in 2009 and the establishment of an optics research and manufacturing center in Taiwan in 2018. This combination of long-standing accessory development and category-specific design is a defining part of UTG's reputation in practical shooting equipment.
