I don't have the answers to the more 'svelte' mounts for your use, but thought of running a peep on mine....

Took 2 fox squirrels ysdy with mine, but the sights from factory are very lacking....though I have made a few great shots, one well over 100 yds when a black phase Fox stopped and raised up on it's hind legs.......

Like to hear the accuracy you get once you scope it if that's what you end up doing.
