I have 2 Original SBE. The camo one I have is the steady Grip Turkey version which is drilled and tapped. My other one is the early Walnut Stock version the first year it came out. I thought about the speed bead option, but after reading reviews on it that were not so favorable, I decided to use a Meadow Creek Rib mount. I really like this option, the site is a bit more forward. I really like this, you can look right around the site for easy acquisition as he's coming in with very little head movement off the comb. The Speed Bead puts the Red Dot real close to your eye limiting FOV without picking up head off comb. Just my thoughts here, best of luck.....
