Military sights for the Ruger 10/22
The new Tech Sights for #2 Son's 10/22 are not just functional, but they dial the bad-assitude up more than a couple notches.
The front sights are the real deal.
So is the rear peep sight - dials for range and windage.
The camera angle is somewhat off center here - I can get quite a good sight picture through the peep sight, but the dumb auto-focus can't get the image crisp. I need to play around with the manual settings of the camera.
Plus, they're dead simple to install. With the sling and extra magazines - not to mention the SKS and 500 rounds for center fire shooty goodness - we're pretty much ready for Appleseed.
I love the Tech-Sights I put on my 10/22 - just have to get used to the odd adjustment interval.
ReplyDeleteCool...I like that very much. I'm old and set in my ways, so I love those military sights. Just something comfortable and familiar about them that makes my shooting much better.
ReplyDeleteI put those on our Marlin .22s here, and haven't ever regretted it. FAR better sight picture.
ReplyDeleteDagnabbit, quit posting gun stuff! You mentioned Appleseed and I went and bought a rimfire semi over the weekend. I was thinking of a Remington 597 or a Savage 64, but my local store didn't have any with iron sights. So I got a 10/22.
ReplyDeleteNow you're showing me better iron sights. I'm going broke!
Dave, yeah I know what you mean. I don't yet have more money into the 10/22 than I spent on it in the first place.
ReplyDeleteYet.
LOL, it HELPS if you can see well enough to actually USE them!
ReplyDeleteI really like mine, especially since I'm using the 10/22 as a trainer for when I get Girlie Bear an AR.
ReplyDeleteI have some of these sitting on my Amazon wishlist until I have the extra cash. I've got to get a new stock first (old one is busted).
ReplyDeleteI really like those sites. They look great on the stock gun. I did a little post on my blog about the M-1 conversion and it uses those sites. It maybe something to look at for the next step for this rifle. Here is the link if you are interested: http://ruger1022.info/ruger-1022-m1-conversion/
ReplyDeleteI built a M1 coversion 10/22 last month using the tech sights. Came out great, and when I was done I put the key to adjust the rear sight someplace safe. When it was ready to try out at the range a week later, I had already forgot where that safe place was. :( Growing old sux!
