Has anyone used one of these on their turkey gun?

I have the Vortex Strike Fire on my gun.  I have used it for 4 yrs. now, and great scope in red & green dots.  It replaced a Muller reflex sight, that had a glare problem, and spooked turkeys. No problem with the Vortex.

I like the idea of the etched reticle.  My concern would be with the mount.  If ther is a low mount that attaches close to the receiver this sight would be great, otherwise it may sit too high for my likes.  If you get it let us know and post pics please.

Also very interested in seeing a setup using marlin 336 mount or if that is possible.

I like the multiple adjustments on this sight versus the 3 settings on the fastfire not that the fastfire is not a great sight I have one but would love to have more adjustments on the brightness the Vortex offers.

I like the etched reticle that shows up even when the scope is off... Bud of mine bought one I have not seen it yet.... He likes it so far. It can be mounted at 2 different heights.... He says the lowest height is lower than the eotech he had, but not low as a ff2...
