Scope mounting on an 870 Express

I have an 870 Express with a fully rifled barrel that has factory iron sights on it. Can a scope be mounted to this barrel??

How do you do this if it is possible??

Thank you.

I'm not sure but I don't think you can drill and tap the barrel or receiver on an 870. That is why they have a Cantilever Barrel option.

You may want to try a B-Square Saddle Mount or their Universal Cantilever Vent Mount. I know the saddle mount works well. I've never seen a vent mount in the wild only on the internet.
