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--

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.

Your comment had to do with the height of the sight, if you'll recall.


You showed examples of sights being mounted on top of an AR carry
handle, mounted way up high. On the current versions of that rifle,
the sights are mounted much lower, and for reasons that matter.
