Pirate Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I wanted to be able to co-witness Tech Sights (aperture style sight) with a red dot on the 10/22. I am using the OEM 10/22 sight base that has the 3/8" "inside" dovetail rail and the wider (weaver style) outside rail. I have a Bushnell TRS-25 micro dot sight mounted to the weaver style portion of the rail. This is the key to this setup.......the rear Tech Sights I have mounted are the one made for the Marlin 795 since it is made to fit the 3/8" built-in receiver rail on the Marlin 795. Tech-SIGHTS Precision Shooting AccessoriesThe rear Tech Sight made specifically for the 10/22 has a base that is designed to screw into the two rear receiver mounting holes on the 10/22 so I could not use those for this application since the rail uses all four mounting holes, other wise they are the same. The front sight is the standard 10/22 Tech Sight front sight. I now have true co-witness with this 10/22 setup. I have bore sighted the Tech Sights and red dot and I think it will work really well. I will try it out this weekend and do my "real" sight in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Sorry for the blurry photo, best I could do tonight. Its almost a true "absolute" co-witness, maybe just slightly below center of the red dot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Another option in this arena is the use of the NoDak Spud NDS-26 rear sight setup on your 10/22. It will work perfectly with the TechSight front or you could use the NoDak Spud front setup. The Bushnell TRS-25 work well, as does the Primary Arms mini red dot. Here's the rear setup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Contacted NoDak they will notify me when production starts up again,can't wait to build some 10-22 for the family. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Be careful on the rear sight w/ rail from them, if you're using one of their receivers - they have two different rear sights w/ rails - one for a Ruger 10/22 and one for their receiver (it's slightly different than the Ruger receiver).NDS-26 for Ruger receivers.NDS-25 for NDS receivers.

unforgiven Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Which reciever should I get to build on? Got a EGW rail on my stock 10-22 ain't gonna change that rifle gonna leave it like it is with it's wood stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 If you're gonna add to a 10/22, just run a stock one and add what you need/want. If you're gonna end up replacing everything but the receiver, it might be better off not buying a Ruger 10/22, and just building everything up yourself, on one of the NDS receivers. Depends on what you want to do, brother. :thumb:I've built these damn things from a whole 10/22, and the only thing I still have that came from Ruger is the receiver and bolt. Would've been better off not buying it in the first place, and just picking up a receiver and bolt, with all the other parts. :confused: Basically, if you'll be replacing the stock, barrel, trigger, and small parts, it might be a better candidate for a complete parts build.

98Z5V Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 NoDak is supposed to be making another production run on the receivers sometime soon - was supposed to be early 2012. Keep an eye on them, because once they come in-stock, they might not last long... :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
