I would like to Red Dot my mini but don't want to spend too much money, would I be able to get away with using one of my existing 1" scope rings and this red dot scope? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
It depends. A lot of the red dot tubes are 30mm, not 1", but if that is the case here you just need new rings that will fit Ruger mounts. Ebay is full of them for cheap if you are on a budget.
I have a Ruger 44 Carbine with a setup exactly like that. Pdog is correct that the holographics are easier to use, but the tube type are fine and worked for me for many years until the holos came out.
