I did in fact order one and put it on my 1894 yesterday. It certainly is light and unobtrusive and very bright even in sunlight. Mine has the Weaver/picatinny mount and yes, it's a tad too high but OK. I may try and make my own mounting plate as the factory ones are overpriced.

The only problem I've noticed is that at night the red dot, although visible, seems to tremble.(I put in a fresh battery, too, in case the factory-supplied one was weak.) Presumably the automatic illumination level control has turned the output down so far that the LED is not stable (?) I have the 1894 set up with the Burris and a Surefire G2 on the mag.tube as we have coyote and occas. black bear problems here and the coyotes esp. are most active at night.
