A) Ruger MKII 77 308 Walnut Blue with Rings - $461.78
B) NIB Ruger 77 RFP 308 Stainless Synthetic w/Rings - $461.78
C) NIB Ruger MKII 77RS 308 Open Sights and Rings - $523.24

Cost difference between A & C is a paltry $61.54 for open sights!!!!

1) why doesn't ruger put sights on B?

1A) why won't ruger allow you to send back a ruger rifle to have open sight put on their rifle...i think they r s... head's about this.

2) why don't all rifle maker's put open sights and rings on a-l-l their rifle's?

3) why would any rifle buyer buy a rifle w/o open sight's...would the same person drive around w/o a spare tire in their car, money in their pocket for gas, and exta key, ets...(?)...don't answer that!

4) For those wanting a 'clean; barrel then rifle makers should supply them with filler screws when they take off the open sights.

    I'm still trying to figure out why Bill Ruger said that no honest man needs a gun that holds more than 10 rounds, so don't ask me!

    Michael, I put scopes on virtually every rifle I shoot, thus I have no need of iron sights, or even a desire for them.

    Why didn't you ask why Ruger puts such crummy triggers on their rifles?

    michael,
    You have read my mind, point for point, I am a Ruger fan, and have always had a beef about these things. A back up sight never sounds important until you need it. I plan for the worst and hope for the best.

    Robsguns, do you use see through mounts? Doesn't that lift your cheek pretty high for sight with a scope?

    While you're asking Ruger these questions, ask 'em to go somewhere other than 84 Lumber for their stock blanks.

    Antique Dr,
    Thanks, LMAO.

    He Dog,
    No, I dont use the see thru mounts. When I plan for accidents I just mean that I have the sights to use in case the scope breaks. Around the house I dont worry about it, but if I'm going somewhere I will make sure I have the tools to take the scope off in the field and use the sights if required. I cant use the see thru mounts, it bothers me having my line of sight so high above the bore. Tends to make the bullet strike too high for my taste at close distances also.

    I just reentered the firearms scene after a 20-year absence, and am behind on scopes. Do they still make pivot mounts? That's what my dad and I used. We kept the scopes tipped to the side in heavy brush and other short-range situations so that we could use the open sights. For longer range hunting we snapped the scopes back into position.
