Sight rail Question
 

I just got new red dot to replace my scope on a 10/22 and the red dot does not fit on my current rail. I think there are two different kinds right? Help.

you mean like weaver rails and picatinny rails?

Yea how do I tell the differance?

grabbed from wiki:

ETA: since weaver devices fit pic rails, but not always the other way around it sounds to me like you have a pic optic and a weaver rail.

The rail I have now is too small, and its the stock one. I will look through the cabelas mag tonight and get both perhaps.

Do you have a RUGER 10/22 carbine. I have owned mine now for over 40 years and they still look the same. Do you have a place where you can use it? I have a 10 power adjustable scope and hunted woodchucks on my uncles farm in Freehold until he sold his 570 acre dairy land(a dozen years ago) to land developers, and instead of a house that was built in 1847 on it, there are 1.2 million dollar homes on 2 acre lots. The house was 1/2 mile off the road(the one that leads into Great Adventure 6 Flags)and was the best time I spent summers there as a kid. Fresh air, outdoors, riding a tractor, doing work that kept you fit and eating food that was actually good for you. I think it's called HOMEMADE. Where do you get this stuff anymore? :mrgreen:

Yup, its my plinker. Ruger 10/22 with a drauganov stock, bipod and now a nice red dot. Used to have a 15 round clip but NJ is gay and said thats a 4th degree offense nowadays. And I shoot at a public range down in Waretown. Exit 63 ish. You need a valid hunting license though.
