I want to put a cheap red dot on my Ruger Mini 30... AND see my iron sights. Is that possible?
Like all Mini-30's, it's a "Ranch Model" with built-in Ruger (non-Weaver) scope mounts, which block the iron sights when holding a standard 1" scope in place.
So, I'm wondering if I can set it up with the iron sights visible, then raise my eye an inch to see the red dot instead.
As I scan catalogs, shop online and visit all the local stores, I get lots of ideas from lots of people about what "should" work. But I haven't seen the right combination yet.
Has anyone actually done that with this rifle? If so, please email me at the address below with some info on brand, model, tips, etc., so I can make my zombie plinker the way I really want it.
Thanks in advance.
