I like it. For $299 that's a pretty good deal compared to red dot and mount separately. Vortex CS is great

Im not 100% but I think I remember seeing the bead.  It sits directly on the receiver so is not elevated above the bead.

Thank you!

I have not personally had the chance to shoot with this exact new site, but two different sources from Vortex both said you can still utilize the bead site if needed with this site installed. What I do know for certain is that Vortex customer service is second to none. If you run over the site with your truck, they will still replace your site. Vortex also said that this site is every bit on the level of defender stuff they have touted as being bullet proof - so I doubt you will have any issues using this for turkey hunting. While I still have a Leupold Delta Point Pro on my primary gun - I have and still use Vortex and have had zero issues with their stuff and am more and more considering Vortex every bit the equal if not better than Leupold for what we all do in the Spring turkey woods. When you consider that you will not need a 40-50 dollar Sumtoy mount to sit under this site, I think that 299.00 is a good buy.

I agree with Vortex having top notch customer service. I wrecked a venom that was junk (I think most of us know about the venom issues) they sent me a Defender as a replacement, no questions asked. Vortex even replaced my SumToy mount to fit it. Hats off to Vortex for what they did!
