Pistol scoe mounting problem

I took off red dot sight that had been mounted on my Ruger Mk. III 5.5-inch target pistol. I bought a new Weaver 2x28 pistol scope with rings to replace it. The pistol has Ruger's scope mount for Weaveer-type rings installed. When I attempted to mount the scope, its rear bell interferes with Ruger's OEM adjustable target rear sight. Rings lack less than 1/8 inch of height to clear the rear sight. I want to retain Ruger's OEM open sights.

How do I mount the scope with rings that came with Weaver's scope?

If this cannot be done, I'm thinking of buying, or trading for, rings that have that smidgen more height.

Since I have never mounted any pistol scope, I need recommendations.

If the consensus is a ring set, I am willing to trade - red dot included.


It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson

Taller rings

Don't forget about the eye relief issue.


Keep'em in the X ring,
