not sure what do with optics as far as my mini 14,
i wanted to buy something for it not sure what to decide, i have a older ranch model with the flip up sight, and a single front blade, it is pretty bad to look through when compared to other sights, i was debating whether i should throw on a red dot, rifle scope, or buy tech sights,
i have never used red dots but i plan to mount the scope or red dot in the traditional mount location, i have excellent vision so i was planning on using the optics out to 300 yards or so as a maximum, i heard it is rough on the optics to mount int that location but i don't want to add a rail or anything else to the rifle, i like it in its stock configuration
i have my eye on a nice 2 x 7 power scope but not sure if i wanted a red dot which would work for the mini, i don't really want to spend over 120 because i am using this for pretty much hunting purposes only, so a list of options for the mini 14 would be nice
also was considering the tech sights but i am not sure if i would love them enough for them to be 70+ dollars, plus i figured if i didn't like the scope or red dot i could put it on another one of my rifles..
