There is another thread going dealing with a Ruger .22 auto and a "SoLow" brand mount for an Adco red dot sight. Coincidentally, I had just been kicking around the idea of a red dot type on my Ruger, a 5 1/2 bull bbl. w/adjustable sights. I was thinking I would have to have it drilled and tapped for a Weaver rail (I think that is what it's called). The ideal of epoxying on the mount and removing the stock sights, as is indicated with the SoLow, is not appealing. I don't want to spend gobs, but could use some advice in this area. I am just going to use it for plinking, just so I can get some experience with the red dot type sight some cheap trigger time. Mount? Scope? Until I started looking, I had no idea how many were out there.
