Try putting a better quality optic (red dot) on. Some type of comb riser would help align your eye up with the scope. Beartooth makes a fairly cheap one. I didn't use the foan inserts provided with it, rather I cut some foam pipe insulation in half and slid it under the neopreme sleeve.
As far as red dots are concerned I use an Aimpoint 9000SC. Best I've tried, holds up to the heaviest recoil and gets 50,000hrs battery life. I have one mounted on my Mossberg 835 and Benelli SBE 2. I have a picatinny rail/base mounted on both guns, they sit pretty low.

I like my Mueller, very happy with it so far.
