I have a NECG peep site for my RSM. My question is, if you have a scope on the rifle and remove it to use the peep sight, how well does the rifle zero when you put the scope back on? I have used quick detach Talley rings and the like in the past but have never used the Ruger rings to detach a scope and reinstall - I have always just mounted the scope and left it alone. Curious how well they return to zero. Thanks for your input.

Mike,
i use mine in the same fashion.. the zero returns well, that is, i can crush dangerous jugs in full charge with swapping them.

the necg (racnagel) sight replies on the "peep" to hold the vertical zero, so a little clear nailpolish holds that just fine.

you should get a bluing pen and file the sharp corners off that thing!!!

Thanks Jeffe, I am going to pop the scope off and try to switch back and forth and see how close the adjustments stay.

alternativvely get some Warne QD rings designed specifcally for a Ruger.

Tried it today. Went back and forth between the Ruger rings and the NECG peep sight. Both seemed to return damn close to zero each time, at most 1/4 inch off. I am pleased. Will leave the scope on and just carry the peep in case some tragedy befalls the scope.

MJines,

I have the exact setup and I find the same thing. They return spot on, also the scopes are darn close too. I like the Ruger Rings because no one makes QD's in the low ring's which is what I shoot.

Over the years I've tried several of the ruger mounts. They come off and go back on very close to zero in my experience.
