Is it easy to see the 10/22's iron sights with this mount installed? Thanks.

This type of mount requires you to remove the scope/red dot to use iron sights. You don't have to remove the rail though, which is due to the sighting slot cut down the center of the rail. They are called see through because normal picatinny rails don't have this slot.

I mounted it in order to install a Bushnel TRS red dot, so no you can no longer use the iron Ruger sights the way I have it set up.

No not really but it was easy to figure out. All you have to do is remove the sight and the flexible piece beneath and mount it.

The sights will work on Ruger 10/22. They are fantastic and shooting with them will make a difference. The rear sight is easy to install but I had to take my Ruger take down to a gun smith to have the old front sight removed and the new one installed. The cost was worth the benefits. I also installed flash suppressor on my 10/22 to make it look more militaristic. Hope that helps.

I mounted mine on an AK-47. With the mounting bracket, I can see over the front sights.

The iron sights that came with the 10/22 will not continue to work as this rail mounts in place of the rear sight on top of the main body. So you can have either the iron sights mounted or the rail - not both as they use the same mounting holes. There is another rail available that comes with a built-in rear peep sight but this one also requires replacing the front sight as well with an included fiber optic fire-light type because the hight of the rear sight is taller and won't align with the factory front sight. it is shown on the Ruger web site and is listed as "10/22 Ace in the Hole Set" The iron sights that came with the 10/22 will not continue to work as this rail mounts in place of the rear sight on top of the main body.

On my AR I do not have Iron sights but you can see through under the riser though I do not think there is enough room to see Iron sites, Sorry Bob

No, you cannot see the iron sights when installed, so must commit to optics.

Sorry I was not more specific but I had my friend put them on while I watched and he's a Gun Smith. It didnt seem like it was tough it you have the right mounting screws and I really like the sights so overall im happy with the product. It's worth the money and a little tweaking to mount correctly.

Yes, you will be able to co-witness the factory sights. I have an M&P; 40 and tried my sights on it. Just order the one with the mounting plates. Very easy to install.

Yes, it enabled me to still use the iron sights. Be sure to use loctite on the screws to insure they do no loosen up during use.

Iron sights may still be used, the upper part of the mount is above the sight-line for the iron sights. I highly recommend this mount, but also highly recommend following the installation instructions provided.

i had NO issues, i have a scope on mine, and i can still see my iron sights...but if you want to cut it up.... its yours!!!!!!!

You may have noticed that the UTG Medium Profile Riser Mount with 3 slots was listed along with this sight and that mount is generally good to co-witness your AR-15 iron sights. I have had to also use the Low Profile version on some guns but Medium should be fine.

If you are referring to the front sight "co-witnessing" through the reticle in your scope, I can't say for certain since my recent build has "NO" iron sights, just a scope. I know this mount is specifically designed for the AR platform to allow what you are talking about. Sorry I couldn't be more help

I came here just to answer this question since it was one of my top concerns with choice-of-rail. You can absolutely see the iron sites on the 2014 10/22 takedown. You'll need see-through rings, or quick-detach rings. I was looking at this rail and the UTG Low Profile Rail Mount. I bought both. This rail, the promag, is better... its wide valley offers improve field-of-view.
