Some say you can use the iron sights with this rail, some say you can't. I have a new 10/22 Takedown, will iron sights work with this mounted?

My iron sights work with this on my takedown, however, there is multiple versions of the takedown now. If your rear sight sits up a good bit you should be good to go.
751202
Just FYI for others, if you have the 50th anniversary edition the fiber optic sights are too low and will not work with this or the rail it comes with.

Ronald slocum is wrong. Yes they will work as long as a scope is not mounted. Not sure Ronald mounted properly.

The iron sights that came with the 10/22 will not continue to work as this rail mounts in place of the rear sight on top of the main body. So you can have either the iron sights mounted or the rail - not both as they use the same mounting holes. There is another rail available that comes with a built-in rear peep sight but this one also requires replacing the front sight as well with an included fiber optic fire-light type because the hight of the rear sight is taller and won't align with the factory front sight. it is shown on the Ruger web site and is listed as "10/22 Ace in the Hole Set" The iron sights that came with the 10/22 will not continue to work as this rail mounts in place of the rear sight on top of the main body.

You would need see-through scope mounts. I have a red-hot on my 10-22 have I can't use the iron sights. No scope, no problem
751206
Not really. I tried but had to return it. Doesn't completely block it but makes it pretty impractical.
751207
Yes, the iron sights are perfectly usable with this rail as long as no scope is mounted (which is probably why you want this mount anyway). When a scope or red dot is mounted the iron sights are covered completely, meaning you would have to take the time to remove the scope if you needed your iron sights!

I came here just to answer this question since it was one of my top concerns with choice-of-rail. You can absolutely see the iron sites on the 2014 10/22 takedown. You'll need see-through rings, or quick-detach rings. I was looking at this rail and the UTG Low Profile Rail Mount. I bought both. This rail, the promag, is better... its wide valley offers improve field-of-view.
751209
No. You can not use the iron sights. The rail is the exact same hight as the sights

I had no issue seeing the iron sights, so I don't see why you would need to modify the stock in anyway except to accommodate for a scope mount, which I just used a dremel to cut a small groove in the side.

I have it on my 10/22 and it works well. Keep in mind it's a cheap scope, and remember to turn off the illumination.

It can be used on a 10/22 and it will work just fine, but you might want to consider a smaller scope. The Ruger is small, light rifle, it wouldn't be right to saddle it with a large scope like this. You would be better using something in a 30 or 32mm diameter with see through rings so you can use the iron sights and the scope.

Yes it will work. I bought one but had to move the Scope Support rings to the opposite side of the mount, there are two screw mounts on each side of the thing and It scraped the skin off my hand the first time I tried the load and extraction of rounds into/from the weapon. You cannot use the fixed iron sights with this contraption even though its advertised as suchskin off my fingers ifirst time I tried it out.

Though not familiar with the M-4 it may work work well mounted w/ iron sights--but that depends on the sight configuration-if they can be removed or flipped down.. Best bet would be an under or side mount. Sight does come with a mount that I've found to be quite adaptable. Have had no problem with rifle mount, i.e. Steel Force. Good luck! Snip

I have an M&P; AR 15T with an EXPS2-0 and G33.STS. No problem with the iron sights.

The Tech sight will fit in the dovetail of the front sight. The rear sight screws into the pre-drilled openings on the ruger where a scope mount would go. The rear sight dovetail is not used with the tech sight. If you have the tools to remove the dovetail front and rear sight then it should be easily doable. I had an gunsmith do it as I had read reviews saying the front sight was difficult to remove. The sight has been a great addition on the 10/22.

Yes. Also look at NCSTAR DMP-5 red dot sight. It self mounts and co-witnesses to iron sights.

As a pic.-rail, yes the mount will fit. But if this is for a 10/22 (like mine was) you will need a LONG eye relief scope, or will have to use the mount backwards. I needed my scope back as far as it would go (it was a bug buster carbine scope). I have an Ace in the Hole rail, with my scope mounts.

Whether or not your rings are too high depends on how you are built and your intended use, so I cannot answer that. Once properly installed, iron sights use should be possible with or without scope.
2024588
Yes. You'll need a rail from Ruger or other mfg and the trujicon mount for your sight. I have similar set up,on my 22/45, though with a different red dot sight. Works great.

Hi, Data54: to be honest, I cannot say for certain that the Tac Band will fit your 10/22 Takedown. But I've just finished looking at Google images of your gun. That part of the stock and barrel look identical to my resin-stock/stainless-barrel model. I clipped a bipod onto my Tac Band. It's okay. But to be honest with you I don't know if its worth the price tag in terms of total functionality.

On my AR I do not have Iron sights but you can see through under the riser though I do not think there is enough room to see Iron sites, Sorry Bob

No problem with iron sights. I modified to allow easier cleaning. (Then I replaced the whole thing with the Tapco which costs $10 more and couldn't be happier).

The sights will work on Ruger 10/22. They are fantastic and shooting with them will make a difference. The rear sight is easy to install but I had to take my Ruger take down to a gun smith to have the old front sight removed and the new one installed. The cost was worth the benefits. I also installed flash suppressor on my 10/22 to make it look more militaristic. Hope that helps.

Yes, if your 22 has a Weaver-Picatinny rail you can mount and use this sight, it works well with my rifle which is a 5.56 so the kick from a 22 shouldnt be an issue at all
