Check out the mount. Goes directly on the receiver and holds the scope, eliminates the base so its solid and less weight. Also lets me use the irons and scope at the same time.




My view, not a great pic but you get the idea that accessing both the scope and irons are easy:

That looks effective, the top of my receiver is nicely scratched from the original rail.. I'll consider this on my next ruger, or if/when I get bored and decide to change my scope

Its been working great. I've used this setup on all of my Rugers for the past 15+ years. Once its zeroed in I've never touched the scope, mounts so I know they'll keep the zero.

If you don't mind me asking, What scopes are you running on your Rugers?

I don't mind at all. Happy to help if I can.

I've been using the same Simmons scope for as long as I had the rifle now.

Its not too much money either, I use a 3-9x40 on one of them:

Very clear, reticals are sharp keeps its zero.

You can also opt a little more cash for a wider field of view and more magnification for this scope, the objective lens is a little wider but the mount will allow for this:

Oh and the mounts themselves....this is the modern version of the mounts I have:

Well, I 'had' a ruger 10/22...until my dad called me one day and said that he was going to build a new .22cal squirrel gun....lol.

He ended up parting out my old 10/22 and using the action/trigger. Polished the trigger a little and worked with the uptake. He used a Hogue over-mold stock, damit they are amazing for the $, I love the way it feels on the bench and in the field.

Also he worked on the Hogue Over-mold stock to accommodate a floated carbon-fiber 10/22 bull-barrel. After a little trial and error with multiple types of ammo, we have nailed down 1/2-3/4MOA @ 100yrds with this built gun. On bags, 5rnd cold group.

I know 'posted' groups are one thing....hunting is another. But I have to say, I have stamped out FAR too many squirrels w/ this gun with head shots than I dare count. And on average, you are looking at a ~2" diameter target when hunting squirrels, when shooting for the head. With this gun, only your shooting ability determines the kill.
