I got a hankering to put a scope on the Ruger Mark IV. This arose from having everything I needed save the picatinny rail which can be had from Ruger for about $10. Rail arrived with only three screws but four screw holes. Before I called Ruger to complain I thought I'd see if it actually need four screws, and tried to take the rear sight off. HUGE MISTAKE. The thing is dovetailed in there TIGHTLY. I put a double layer of thick duct tape on the right side and used a brass punch. Couldn't get thing to budge and managed to scar the surface of the gun anyway. (DANG!) Looked for help on line and that's when I realized it only needs three screws and you DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THE REAR SIGHT OFF. Geez-ma-kneez!
Got it all mounted. (pic below) Took it to the range and was getting three inch groups resting my hand on the gun bag.
Life is good.

p.s. Was shooting about ten yards.
