I have a Vortex Venom that I was thinking about putting on a Ruger MK IV. 2 Questions: Is this Venom a good match for the Mk IV? What is the best mount for the MK IV?
Would like to hear from people who have mounted this particular combination. Thanks

Get a Holosun. Emitters on vortex dots suck

You aren't the first person to tell me that! Problem is I have a Vortex Venom, not sure if I want to get a Holosun. I actually like them, have several on my PCC's. Just not sure if I want to shell out for another one when I happen to have this Venom that has been collecting dust.
That aside, which Holosun would you recommend if I decided to go that route?
 
Ah well if you've got one then it's not a big deal. Use what you have. Didn't mean to insult. I've tried 2 of my friends vortex defenders. The dot was shaped like an oval. My holosuns have been crisp. For target shooting I like big glass. I'm waiting on a 507 comp on a back order. But for cost effective options a regular 507 is nice. I have a 508t. I don't think I would part with it..I don't find I use the multi reticle stuff on pistols.. It kinda makes the small glass too busy imho.

No insult taken. You weren't the first to suggest Holosun over the Venom. But as you said, use what you have. Any suggestions on a mount for the Vortex?
 
I have a Mk III 22/45 with the Vortex Venom mounted on the Ruger pic rail that came with my gun. Doesn't the Mk IV come with the pic rail? The Vortex in an OK red dot for the price but I only using it for plinking at the range. Have a 507 Comp for my Shadow 2 & it works well for IPSC PO with the large sight window.

The MKIV doesn't come with a picatinny rail. I wanted a mount that sat low so I am glad not to have to use the picatinny rail anyway.

Thanks for the input everyone. Thanks also to Rust. I ordered the mount you showed me. Hard one to find for some reason. On it's way though!
