Try putting a 1x, 2x, 4x, 1x-4x, 1.5-5, or 2x7 scope on it and dial it in. You can easily move your point of impact by adjusting the scope. Anything bigger than a 2x7 power scope is a waste of reticle since the gun won't perfom past 100 yds, it wasn't designed or built for that. Open sights are OK, but good glass makes all the difference in the world, even in the pistol caliber carbine rifles. I only have one center fire rifle out of eight that doesn't have good glass and use the open sights without optics. You will be surprised how much better your Ruger will perform...
Thanks for the info...
Let me see if I can find you a decent low power scope from one of my buds, cheap.... Sendero's aren't easy to come by, but I have you on my watch list chief...
I guess shooting open sights is a dying art, when I was under 30 with good eyesight and steady nerves open sights were fine to 100 yds and gave the gun a lower profile, less to get snagged on and never had to worry about dirty wet or fogged lenses, too bad. I think every kid should grow up using open sights, especialy if 95% of shots are gonna be under 50 yds anyway.scopes kinda take away a needed skill.kinda like doing math with a paper and pencil or in your head.all the time I'm telling kids at cash registers how much change to give me back before their computerized register comes up with a #. nowadays I need my specs to tell what time my wristwatch says ( damm pia ) or with glasses I can see sights but not game and without gogles can see game but not sights
the westerners ( especialy horse people ) I knew realy respected the open sighted mdl 94 and someone that knew how to shoot one. but for antelope/elk or mulies good glass makes life alot easier.
