I put the Strike fire on my AR-10 and went out of adjustment within a 100 rounds and cant get it back on. I think it shook itself apart on the inside. need to send back

It's more a matter of the type of optic you want for your own personal needs. Go to the Vortex website and check out all their optics.

This is an amazing red dot that performs well when paired with the .233 cartridge. However the question is how high do you want your optic. I have this model (with the cantilever mount) and the centerline ( middle of the lens) is 1 7/8 of an inch above a flat top AR. Depending on what stock you use. Personally since the optic and boreline will be closer I would go with the Strikefire 505 for your Ruger.

There are so many to choose from, but I found for me that the "JSB MATCH Diabolo Exacts" in the 8.44 grain size worked well for me. About $12-$15 for a tin of 500. You can pay less, but you will see a drop in your accuracy. Also, it took about 100-200 shots before my PT-85 was consistent in shot pattern.

I really have no idea. You will have to refer to the manufacturer. I don't even know what a "Vortex Strike Fire" is without looking it up.

dome pellets works best, ie, Crossman or Benjamin dome and hollow point. these are inexpensive. don't waste your money on other expensive brands.

No problem. I have a slidefire SSAR22 I burn a lot of ammo lol. I'm sure these things will last the life of the rifle.

Not sure about your strikefire... it lines up nicely to my eotech. My assumption is that it will.

I had to low mount on my Strikfire for my Mini 14. I switched the sight to my AR and added this cantilever mount. This mount is offered in absolute co-witness and 1/3 co-witness. I went with the 1/3 and loved it. Not sure if this answered your question or not but yes, you can remove the low mount that came with the sight when you bought it and add this mount to change the co-witness. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-cantilever-30mm-ring-1-inch-offset-absolute-co-witness

If your ruger mini-14 has a ATI 45 degree stock top rail that at least5" long it should work.

I have been told that the 'strip LULA' is for the Ruger Mini-14. The Ma6/AR-15 is for the .223 Ar-15. I do not have the strip LULA yet, but I will have to try to get one.

The SPARC comes with mounts that give you an absolute co-witness (sights and dot lined up all the time) and lower 1/3 co-witness (the sight is placed a little higher so if you pick your head up a bit, the iron sights won't be in the way but you are still able to co-witness and use the irons if you drop your head down a bit). The Strikefire has better battery life and has a larger objective lens. It has an absolute co-witness out of the box but you can buy a mount for a lower 1/3 co-witness for about $30.

I have both P2X & P3X, I always use the surefire CR123As, I've never used any Chinese imitations because I've heard they don't last as long and can over heat. So yeah always go with Surefire CR123a.

More for a wooden type stock. Mini 14. But can work. Just tried it on one if the AR's. It will work. Better for fuller stock. Mini 14, Rem 700.

They're roughly the same size as the LMF Scout steel, which is approx 3000 strikes. Depending in your skill, your tinder and environment, that could mean anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand fires per steel. They're a good deal for backup steels, though i'd recommend getting a larger firesteel to practice with! Coghlans is good for not much money, LMF Army is still the standard! Good luck!

I am going to say yes, unless you want something for CQB, then I would suggest a 1-4x scope. I put mine on my Mini 14, and if it can stand up to the pounding the Mini's op rod and bolt give it, it should be no problem with the softer recoil impulse of the ARs buffer system. As a matter of fact, I have been thinking of putting one on my AR, but mine is more for SHTF than for long range target shooting.

I have a three month old mini 14. Changed my group size from 12 inches at 100 yards to 4 inches.Same ammo. It works, at lease for me!.i'm buying another for my new Mini 30.

I think this should work fine on a mini 14 as long as you have a Picatinny rail or beavertail scope mountbut your front sight maybe in the way of the laser

Can't say for sure that it will as I'm not familiar with the Mini 14. The Cheek Pad does have considerable adjustability. One just has to work with it some. It worked extremely well on my Sako Synthetic.
