tech sights + optics?

[BigMBobbyOP]

Hi guys!

A while back I put a pair of tech sights on my 10/22. They are pretty neat but i've been thinking about the possibility of adding optics and having the tech sights serve as backups.

I'm trying to figure out how to add some kind of optics - maybe something like this: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/38...moa-dot-with-integral-weaver-style-base-matte

I was wondering what, if anything, would fit in addition to the tech sights.

the picture below shows the current setup - as you can see there is some room left possible to mount a rail ?? Is there enough room to mount optics??

Get http://www.midwayusa.com/product/59...oa-dot-with-integral-weaver-style-mount-matte from Optics Planet, they have them cheaper there. Also, get a rail, cut off the back half, and mount the little red dot on the part leftover. It should be a little higher than the open sights, so you shouldn't need a cheek riser for it.

Nice! Thanks. So I just need a weaver rail and to chop off rail to fit it... Any experience cutting these? How strong are these things - what do I need to cut/trim one?

They're aluminum. I cut one with my table saw, but a hack saw will do just fine.

I have a ruger takedown and I'm thinking of the NDS-26 rear sight and the NDS-40 front.The NDS-25 and NDS-26 will co-witness with the Bushnell TRS 25 Micro red dot sights.

I'm guessing a magnified scope with quick releases would be hard to maintain zero with the added takedown barrel.

What about the Amega Scout Mount? It would allow you to mount a red dot, LER scope, or light and looks fantastic imo.

wolfsburg- i really like that Amega mount.. but for the money I'm going to try to do it on the cheap by chopping down a rail and mounting it on the receiver..

For the record, were I to do it over I may have gone with something like this:

That's a nice set up. I have a new carbine that might get this treatment.
