I see Vortex offering two different AR15 mounts for the Venom.  One is a flat-top mount that states lower 1/3 cowitness.  Then I see the (ADM?) QD mount with the pic rail in top -- a couple of reviews seem to indicate this will provide absolute cowitness for the Venom, but I can't confirm this.  Can anyone confirm?  If not, any suggestions for an absolute cowitness mount for the Venom (not the Viper, which I understand sits slightly lower)?

Secondarily, is anyone here running a Venom, particularly on an AR15?  I'm not a huge fan of most red dots, as I find the blue tint necessary to reflect the dot to be significant enough, in most dots that I've tried, that it lowers contrast for my aging eyes.  So much so that, with neutral colored targets on a neutral background (think big rocks on a berm), I have trouble finding my target.

Can anyone speak to the amount of tint the Venom has?

Thanks.
