Mini 14 Tech Sights? Anyone in this country have them?

[Travis Bickle]

Picked up a newer 580 series mini14 off the EE.
Great rifle. Surprised by the accuracy despite years of reading about how "terrible" they were.
Anyhow, the only real weakness I've found in the new design is actually the atrocious rear sight! It's two windage screws, you can't adjust elevation on the aperture without backing out both side windage screws and then losing your windage zero completely. No click adjustments either. Terrible in every way but I digress.
Tech Sights has the mini200 rear sight for the mini14 580 series. It's the exact same one I have on my Rem 597 .22LR.
Keeping with traditional horrible product selection in this country, they won't ship to Canada and it looks like noone up here carries them....
Anyone know of a dealer who carries the mini200 rear sight for the Ruger? I've called around to the major ones. Google Fu turns up nothing.

There was a set on the EE recently.

I ordered mine from amazon.com, yes, the factory offering is a absolutely horrible design.
On amazon, select "Sold by: Advancedmart" the default supplier might not ship to canada.

Thank you!
Will look into this Sir. Thanks very much!

After looking into it again, amazon usa no longer has a seller that will ship here it seems. Just letting everyone know before they get all hopeful.

God damn it all, this market!
Is there even an alternative iron sight available in this country at all for the Ruger Mini14?

Hi-Cal in Mission brought one in for me...i think they brought in a bunch at the same time

I'll tag this for later

I got mine from opticscamp.com, as when I looked here for any in Canada, there were none available. They were very helpful there, took about a week from order, to bolted to the rifle.

+1 for opticscamp.

Ordered mine for my 583 Mini-14 at lunch today and shipped out same day. $100us total. Sights ($75us) adjustment tool ($10us) and shipping ($15us)

I put a M1 carbine rear sight on mine

The original ruger sight is poor

 

[Netghost]

I put a Redfield scope on mine. Overkill, but I never miss a target now.

I personally dont think the sight is that much better than stock. The adjustability is nice though.

Update: just received my sight today. With exchange it was $125 Cdn. Hopefully install this week and try it out this Sunday.

They're both peeps, not much difference in use. I think ruger should of had these as a factory standard - trying to adjust the standard sight enraged me.
