I got a great deal in another charity auction. This is a stainless
steel Ruger 22/45 Mark III Hunter made in 2007 from the Ruger factory
collection. The bonus is that it has an Aimpoint Micro R-1 factory
mounted. It's new old stock and comes with a certificate of
authenticity. The best part, aside from the money going to charity, is
that the firearm was only about $100 more that what the red-dot sight
costs. I'm not sure if I want to fire this one or leave it unfired to
hold the value. I have other .22LR Ruger pistols so I'm leaning toward
the safe. I have a Ruger 22/45 with a factory suppressor on order so I
might look into adding a sight to that one instead.
This one?

Let me know next time you see one of these at another charity auction! Beautiful gun,
but I'm still fighting off the Mark III Hunter.

That's it. With an Aimpoint Micro installed:

What could drive the price of a red dot scope to $500+
?


Quality. You can spend 3X that on a red dot sight with no
magnification. 5X that with magnification. The cheap red dot sights
have a dot that is irregular in shape and can nearly cover an entire 8"
target at 100 yards.
