Ruger MKI Scope Mount

[Westwindmike]

My brother just traded for a Ruger Standard model pistol. 4 inch tapered barrel and fixed rear sight. He wants to put a red dot on it but it is not drilled and tapped for a mount.

Has anyone here ever used the no drill type mounts on a Ruger? If so, how did it work for you. Got one for sale?

Thanks,

Mike

I have a "Solow" mount on my MKII with no drill holes. You have to drift the rear sight out however. It is rock solid and sits very low to the barrel. Only real con is that they are made for 30mm red dots...other than that it is pretty awesome.

Before you consider these no drill mounts...you need to make sure that they are made for the standard model as they often fit in the dovetail cut in the target models. It is not very difficult to tap the holes for a factory scope mount.

Would post photo, but my work has photobucket blocked.
