Scope Mount for M870 Remington

[Old Ranger]

I plan on putting a low powered scope (probably 1-4 Bushnell 3200) on my 870 before this fall's deer hunt. Looking for input on the best mount. I know Weaver makes a side mount and Remington a saddle mount. At least one other company (B-Square??) also makes a saddle mount? I do not want to drill and tap. My 870 is a product of the early 70's now wearing a 20" rifled barrel c/w open sites. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Although I don't have one, I would consider one of these:
(is this a "saddle" mount)

No gunsmithing required. You can easily remove it from the 870 for bird hunting.

Have you considered a cantilever barrel?

I don't like the Reminton cantilever, doesn't come back far enough, and with a lot of optics you need to use extension rings. Compare it to the Browning cantilever and you'll see what I mean...
