Midwest Industries MI-1022-SM Scope Mount Matte Black Ruger 10/22 - SKU: MI-1022-SM - UPC: 816537011224
Product Description
The Midwest Industries MI-1022-SM Scope Mount is a heavy-duty, American-made optics mounting base engineered specifically for the legendary Ruger 10/22 rimfire rifle. Precision CNC-machined from 6061-T6 hardcoat anodized aluminum, this scope rail significantly upgrades factory receiver mounts by providing a rigid, full-length MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny interface for magnified scopes, red dot sights, and tactical optics.
Designed with exact receiver-contour matching, the MI-1022-SM fits flush against the top of standard factory 10/22 receivers to eliminate flex and prevent zero shifts during high-volume shooting sessions. The extended cross-slot configuration offers enhanced ring placement flexibility, ensuring shooters can dial in proper eye relief regardless of optic tube length. Additionally, the rail features a central see-through channel along the centerline that allows the use of factory iron sights when no optic is mounted.
Finished in a durable, non-reflective matte black hardcoat anodization, the Midwest Industries MI-1022-SM includes factory mounting hardware for a quick, secure drop-in installation on pre-drilled Ruger 10/22 receivers.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Fits standard factory Ruger 10/22 receivers, 10/22 Takedown, Charger pistol receivers, and aftermarket receivers utilizing standard factory top hole spacing.
- Verify host firearm is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically confirmed empty.
- Thoroughly clean receiver top mounting threads with solvent to remove manufacturing oils and debris.
- Place the Midwest Industries MI-1022-SM scope rail over the receiver mounting holes, ensuring proper forward orientation.
- Apply a single small drop of blue threadlocker (Loctite 242/243) to each of the included mounting screws.
- Torque mounting screws evenly in a crisscross pattern to manufacturer specifications (typically 12-15 in-lbs) to prevent stripping soft aluminum receiver threads.
