The Weaver See-Thru Mount for the Ruger 10/22 in Silver is a popular choice for shooters who want to switch between a scope and iron sights without removing hardware. Because it mounts directly to the receiver, it eliminates the need for a separate base, keeping the setup cleaner and more stable.

Why Use This Mount?
- Dual Sight System: The "see-thru" windows allow you to use your factory iron sights for close-range or moving targets while keeping your scope zeroed for longer distances.
- Direct Mounting: By screwing directly into the top of the Ruger 10/22 receiver, you reduce the "stack height" and potential points of failure compared to using a rail plus separate rings.
- Aesthetic Match: The silver finish is specifically designed to complement the Stainless Steel or Clear Anodized finish of the 10/22 Takedown and standard stainless models.
Installation Tips
- Hardware Included: These typically come with the four necessary mounting screws.
- Torque Settings: Weaver generally recommends approximately
- 15 inch-pounds for the ring cap screws. Do not over-tighten, as the receiver is aluminum.
- Cheek Weld: Because these mounts sit higher to allow for the see-thru window, you may find that your "cheek weld" (the position of your face on the stock) is higher than usual.
- Note: This specific silver model (#49734) is for 1-inch tubes. If you have a 30mm scope, Weaver does not typically offer a see-thru silver version for the 10/22 in that size.
