Tech sights + scope?

Post by renovatio » Wed Mar 14, 2012 10:13 am

Hoping someone with tech sight exp can answer this. On a 10/22, would it be possible to mount a rail, have the rear tech sight mounted to the rail, then use a see through scope mount and put a scope on it too?

Does the rear tech sight mount to a rail without mods, or would I need to tap new screw holes through the rail and receiver? It looks like they line up with the holes in the receiver.

An see -thur rings are not the best to use with a scope.
Once you raise your cheek off of stock the you have reference point.
It is called cheek weld for a raisen.

The rear tech sight mounts to the top of the receiver using the 2 rear rail mount holes. I guess you could mount a short piece of rail in front of the tech sight using the 2 front receiver holes. But you could not mount the rear sight on top of the rail without raising the front sight up to the same plane. I guess nothing is impossible but seems like a lot of trouble. The see through scope mounts suck by the way.

Short rail thing makes sense, I hadn't considered that. What's wrong with the see through scope mounts?

The high the scope the less stable
When cheek weld is lost so is the advantage of scope
