Finally got the Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle that I've been lusting
for. Love it. Also love the Burris
prism sight. Of course, without the sight I was shooting dime size
groupings at 100yds unsupported.
(Just kidding! I'm not nearly the shot our southern Maryland boy is!)
Here's a couple photos. Hope they're viewable:

Looks nice John. It's so unusual to see a rifle with a wooden stock
these days. Does it have an internal box magazine?

Man, that "scope" is mounted high. No, it uses magazines.
Here, Harry. Even chubby cheeks can get a decent weld. I suppose
you'd cut the handle off to mount the sight lower, eh?

In case you think that is the 'exceptional' way of mounting the sight--

Learn something.
On the more modern versions of that "AR" rifle, there is no carry
handle. What there is is a rail mounted on the upper receiver right
above the action and the barrel. If there is a carry handle, it is
removable so a sight can be mounted on a rail. None of the photos in
what you posted show a Mini-14, anyway. I tried out the sight you
bought at a Bass Pro Shop. It is a decent sight for the price.
Interestingly, the firearms sales counters at that store are almost
100 yards away from the other side of the store, so you can easily see
how the sight would perform at that fairly typical distance. I ended
up buying a Vortex sight instead. You pays your money and you makes
your choice.
Yet there are optics designed for authentic AR15's!
