I discovered today that when I mount a scope on a Mini 14, that to disasemble the Mini 14 for a complete cleaning, you have to take the scope off.
The rings are the ones that Ruger provided (I think) is there a better mounting system that allows me to take the scope on and off?
Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry,
I think My "Ruger" rings loosen with one screw on each side, then scope , rings and all can come off. They have a locating lug on the bottom of the rings and a matching slot in the receiver. I would think they would re-mount in nearly the same place.
My rings are at work. I took them in for someone to try and haven't brought them back home. I will check tomorrow and get back to you.
I took them off because I mounted a see thru mount. It makes the scope sit higher, but for plinking and rapid shooting I like using my open sights.
I did the same on my mini 30.
Have a good one, Guy

Jerry,
I also tried one of this type. It would gradually move. I tightened it as tight as i could and could not keep it from moving.

I'll see if I can up load a pic of my Mini with an EER on a scount mount. Worked out pretty nice (i've had a lot of fun with it).

My problem at the moment is I am using the rings that came with the rifle and my Nikon scope doesn't work for extended eye relief, but I do have a good handgun scope somewhere around that isn't being used at the moment.
I like the three point mount, but TnTom, how is your scope mounted?

Jerry the "scount mount" replaces the upper hand guard and the rings fit to it.

Jerry The first picture I was using a different set of rings and it was a little to tall. I think i bought it (mount) from brownells.

The only place I could find these were at Natchez, for $65.00 it is a deal.
Thanks,

if i went back thorough my receipts thats probably what I paid or dang close to it. It may have even been Natchez. I think they worked very well. Have since sold the rig.
