Techsights for Ruger Mini-14 and Remington 597
My favorite aftermarket aperture sight manufacturer, Tech Sights, has expanded their line to include the Ruger Mini-14 and Remington 597.
Over the standard Mini-14 rear sight, Tech Sight’s sight allows click adjustment of both windage and elevation adjustment ands the choice of optional aperture sizes.
For any .22 LR, a real aperture sight is far nicer to use than the horrible leaf sights that most (all?) manufacturers tack on to them at the factory.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Have to disagree about the 597s. I have two, and both are tack drivers. Both take whatever I feed them without complaint.
Early 597s came with a plastic magazine that were prone to jamming, but were recalled and Remmy replaced them with metal mags which eliminate the problem.
You know, I have a pre 2005 mini that I kludged an M1 carbine sight onto, and I've hated it ever since. Never could get it to sight in right, and I'd like to replace the front sight too. I shoot it with an aimpoint on a scout rail, but would really like to get a proper set of functioning irons on it at some point. I just might pick one of these up.
