I got the new Rubber-Armored Mini-scope from CDNN and mounted it on my Ranch Mini. It has a red lit-reticle and is about a 4X I believe. It has flip-up lens caps, and just looks really nice. Well, it's a shooter!!! I was hitting Sprite cans and GI JOE dolls at about 100 yards. Since we all know that Ruger's scope rings SUCK, I gave up on those POS and got this little wonder instead. It threads right into the side with no problem. It didn't come loose, either. I also got one for my Shorty AR. I would say get one of these. I use my Mini a lot in my boat, so the Rubber Armor thing is quite cool!!!
