To be brief, I think your money is better spent on an optic that is transferable. That being said, more context within your question will yield better answers. I see you have a HS509T on your 1301. Are you looking to swap that out, or what is your use case?

Right on. My setup on my old Shockwave was an outer impact mount (fits nearly any micro RDS footprint) with Bushnell RXS-250. I mounted it in the rear holes so I could still roll a shell over the top when port loading. https://www.reddit.com/r/canadaguns/s/afZKohVuCj

If you want a low mounted enclosed emitter the Vortex should serve you well. The main perk IMO is being able to keep an eye on your fasteners to ensure they don't rattle loose. I'd still go for a Holosun EPS + quality mount personally though.

Yea I’m leaning more towards mount and 407c it’s just not enclosed
