I recently purchased a very nice Mk II Target model. I'm considering mounting a Vortex Venom. Of course, this older model Ruger does not have any drilled/tapped mounting holes, so I'm looking at available mounting bases that use the rear sight dovetail. I know EGW makes a custom mount for this:

.......and I've also ran across this mount from a few different sources:
https://www.amazon.com/Burris-Fastfire-Mount-fits-Rugger/dp/B000UV3ZPG
Does anyone have any experience with either mount? The mount listed on Amazon....can anyone explain to me how this mounts to the gun? All I can figure out is that you insert the dovetail into the gun, the plate just sits on top and the screws that hold the red dot on just thread into the dovetail and traps the mounting plate between the sight and dovetail?
The only thing I don't like about the EGW mount is that it appears to be just flat on the bottom and not contoured to the top of the gun. Is this true, or is the photo on their website just a generic photo and it really does have a contour on the bottom of the mounting plate?
If anyone has any personal experience with either of these mounts (or others I'm not aware of), I'd really appreciate your input. Thanks!
