Description
Adding a red dot to a Benelli SBE, M1, or M2 shouldn't mean stacking a tall rail on top of a gun that already handles beautifully. The Foxtail Precision 100022 gives you a clean, low-profile way to run a modern optic by mounting it directly to the receiver's drilled and tapped holes. No riser, no adapter tower, just a compact plate that keeps the sight where it belongs.
What the Foxtail 100022 Plate Does for Your Benelli
This plate is built to accept an RMR-footprint optic, which opens the door to a huge range of red dots from Trijicon, Holosun, and plenty of others cut to that same pattern. Because it sits directly on the receiver instead of riding on a Picatinny rail, you get a lower sight line that comes up naturally when you shoulder the gun. That low mounting position matters on a shotgun, where a fast, instinctive sight picture beats a tall setup every time, whether you're chasing turkeys or running the gun for defense.
Built to Take a 12-Gauge Beating
Foxtail machines these plates from aircraft-grade aluminum with a black anodized finish, the same approach they use across their optics adapter line. That construction holds up to the sharp recoil impulse a shotgun throws at an optic, and it shrugs off the powder residue, moisture, and general abuse a working scattergun sees. The finish resists corrosion and wear, so it keeps looking right after seasons in the field.
Straightforward Install
Mounting is about as simple as shotgun optics get. The plate secures to the receiver's factory holes with the included hardware, then your red dot bolts to the top of the plate. A drop of blue thread locker on the screws and a properly torqued optic will hold zero shot after shot. If you've been putting off a red dot because you didn't want to deal with a clunky rail, this is the piece that makes it easy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What optics fit the Foxtail 100022 Benelli mounting plate?
The plate is cut for the RMR footprint, which is one of the most common patterns on the market. That means you can run a Trijicon RMR along with any Holosun, or other red dot that shares the RMR mounting pattern. Always confirm your specific optic's footprint before ordering so the screw holes line up.
Which Benelli shotguns does this plate work with?
It's designed for the Benelli Super Black Eagle, M1, and M2 receivers. These guns use factory drilled and tapped holes on top of the receiver, and the plate bolts directly to those. If your shotgun already has an aftermarket rail installed, you'd remove it first and mount this plate in its place.
Do I need a Picatinny rail to use this plate?
No, and that's the whole point. This plate replaces the need for a full rail by mounting your optic directly to the receiver. You get a lower, cleaner sight line and less added weight than a traditional rail setup.
Is installation something I can do myself?
Yes, it's a straightforward job for most folks. You attach the plate to the receiver's factory holes with the included screws, then bolt your red dot to the top of the plate. A quality thread locker and a proper torque on the screws will keep everything locked in and holding zero.
