Frequently Asked Questions

Why are iron sights not standard on the Ruger Precision Rimfire?

The Ruger Precision Rimfire comes with a high 30 MOA rail from the factory, which is designed for long-range shooting with scopes. This rail height introduces too much elevation, making it impractical for standard iron sight installation without modification.

What is the best way to install iron sights on a Ruger Precision Rimfire?

The recommended method is to use M-LOK to Picatinny rail adapters attached to the rifle's handguard. These adapters provide the necessary mounting surface for standard backup iron sights (BUIS).

How do you zero backup iron sights on a rifle?

Zeroing involves adjusting the rear sight for windage using finger knobs and the front sight post for elevation with a specialized tool. This process aligns the point of aim with the point of impact at a specific distance.

Is it difficult to adjust the front sight post on an AR-style sight?

Adjusting an AR-style front sight post requires a tool to press down a detent while rotating the post. This can sometimes be challenging if the tool doesn't mesh perfectly or if fine adjustments are needed.
