Hello all.
I have a few questions for Ruger GSR owners who are, or have used the following item for their rifle...
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/43...ount-rail-ruger-gunsight-scout-aluminum-matte
1. The peep sight: Is it adjustable? Can you give me the dimensions of the rear sight aperture? Does it fold down or simply fixed in place? How does it perform for you in comparison with the OEM rear sight assembly? Does it work well with the OEM front sight?
2. The rail itself: What is the total length of useable space for optics? Once installed, is it rock solid or does it shift/wobble at all. How does the rail line up when installed on the rifle? Is it canted at all, or where it is supposed to be?
Other comments regarding this?
3. I would also be interested in hearing what type/hiegth rings you are using, and the type of optic.
4. If you are using a "mini dot" sight..... will it sit low enough to allow for co-witness.
5. Any folks out there use their GSR for hunting? If so..... what kind of critters do you hunt, and what load of 308 do you use for hunting?
6. Do any of you run a can on your GSR? If so......what kind of can, and have you tried any subsonic 308 ammo through your GSR?
Note: I have a friend that is left handed and confined to a wheelchair. He was looking at the Savage Hog hunter chambered for 308, but prefers left handed bolt action rifles. Being a southpaw myself, I can relate. Since GSR's have a lefty version vs the right handed only Hog hunter..... the GSR sports all the features he is looking for in a lefty bolt action rifle.
Thanks.
