Well, unless Herring is more of a freak than I remember, I cannot see
how he can get the appropriate cheek weld with the normal stock on that
rifle and that sight at the height it is installed.

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.


It's not a scope.

Here, Harry. Even chubby cheeks can get a decent weld. I suppose you'd cut the handle off to mount the sight lower, eh?

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.

Uh, I owned a Colt AR rifle, a fairly good "duplicate" aside from select
fire of what is issued to the military. No carry handle, and if you
wanted additional sights, you mounted them on the rail forward of the
folding rear sight. The photos you posted here of the AR rifle showed
the old style AR with the carry handle.

As I stated originally, you've got that sight on your new rifle mounted
too high. I doubt it matters much for a guy like you, though, since it
is unlikely you could hit a 2' "gong" target at 100 yards.
