what is the preferable mount profile for mounting scopes and still being able to use sights if you wanted on a Ruger 10/22 ?

I like to use quick release Leupold or Warne rings. To use either at same time there are good rings that give you a sight picture of both but I don't like how high it makes the scope. Check with friends or friendly gun store where you can look at options and pick what you like best. I keep in mind that it is still a 22 and limit my use to under 100 yds for a fun gun that is cheap to shoot. I hope you enjoy your shooting either way.

I took my Ruger 10/22 Carbine to Gander Mountain and made them let me try the scope mounts to make sure I could also use the fixed sights. I suggest u do the same Marine1. Note: I am a 37 year Army vet spending last 22 in Special Ops at Bragg. I always go to gun store before I purchase scope mounts and rings. By the way this is A great rifle for small game and especially for starting to teach a new shooter. Semper Fi. My son is a Captain in Force Recon Marines.

Yes, its a Great Looking and fits great. It came with two different Mounts. Ome is for the 10/22. I am happy with mine.

Ok, two part on this older post... The answer to the scope mounting issue on a M9130 is called a jmecks scope mount, and purchase a machined bent bolt, don't sear the original straight bolt and add the tapped bolt. Thanks for the input on this scope, to everyone else, because I too am curious if it will hold up to the 7.62x54R.

I mounted it in order to install a Bushnel TRS red dot, so no you can no longer use the iron Ruger sights the way I have it set up.

Where are you planning on mounting? My 45 dare was in my quad rail down facing offset for my green dot. The inly way I see this in the way is if you faced it upwards or on your top rail but I still don't see it being an issue because it is so low profile. Hope this helps.

Yes. You can still see through the iron sights below the scope mount. I recommend adding an adjustable cheek rest to your buttstock to accommodate using the scope or the iron sights are required while still maintaining a good "stock weld." An Archangel (if on a budget) or JAE (if money is no problem) drop in stock works great.

This type of mount requires you to remove the scope/red dot to use iron sights. You don't have to remove the rail though, which is due to the sighting slot cut down the center of the rail. They are called see through because normal picatinny rails don't have this slot.

I always leave it to personal preference. I think the best application for this sight is a turkey shotgun or muzzle loader.

Use medium profile mounts. I had a hawke 40mm scope n my mounts were low profile n i had reasonable clearance. If you want to use airgun sights you may opt a high profile mount but i personally prefer to mount my scopes as low as I can.

I use it on my Ruger 10/22 Target model at 200 meters. I don't need a spotting scope as long as I use Shoot N See targets. KFW

Hi my name is tom I put one of these mounts on my dpms upper with my flip up rear site and it clears fine. But you must remove the scope to see your front iron site depending on the power of the scope it will be to close and you won't see it. The ruger has a longer rail than my upper has so you will be fine. keep in mine when you adjust the mount to your rifle mark you lable where you mounted it so you can return it to the same place on the rail each time. after installing I check my set up with both a lazer bore sighter and 100yds paper 5 shot group and 5/5 on returning with in a quart inch of my first zero. I am impressed. Hi my name is tom I put one of these mounts on my dpms upper with my flip up rear site and it clears fine.

It can be used on a 10/22 and it will work just fine, but you might want to consider a smaller scope. The Ruger is small, light rifle, it wouldn't be right to saddle it with a large scope like this. You would be better using something in a 30 or 32mm diameter with see through rings so you can use the iron sights and the scope.

I put the scope on a Ruger 10/22 and it works great, but I think it would be too long for a target pistol and might also upset the balance of the gun.

I don't know that I understand exactly your question, I bought two sets of these scope mounts, and put them on two Savage 64F rifles, with very little work, just basically tightening up the dovetail bolt and sighting in the scope, no other work was necessary for my set up. The see through base allows us to use the iron sights, or also use the scopes depending on the target we are using. I am happy with these mounts on the 22LR rifle, although I don't know anything about using them on a higher caliber rifle.

You would need see-through scope mounts. I have a red-hot on my 10-22 have I can't use the iron sights. No scope, no problem

I mounted this on forward rail of my Ruger Gunsite and it worked just fine but I put an XS site system rail and moved it back. The eye relief is adequate, I just prefer it farther back.

I use magpul sights. The basic mount does not absolute cowitness. I would try the cantilever mount.
