I clicked on this article because I mounted a SightMark red dot on my Ruger Mark 111 backwards two weeks ago. I had never used a red dot before and didn’t know much about them. I was very frustrated until I looked at pictures on the internet which suggested mine was on backwards. Voila! Of course I never had pictures taken with me trying to sight it with it mounted backwards.
C’mon, anybody can look through it the right way.
When SWAT comes after real Americans, we’ll have to send them this picture with the caption:
The sight is correct, it’s the rifle that’s backwards!
Bump!
I love my model 94. And with Williams receiver sight, hee hee hee
Short range though, but extends a bit with Hornady FTX bullets.
Also use them on my model 71 348, that is a really fun lever. The 71 with 200 gr FTX @2200 fps it will take down anything on the American continent.
Well, I can actually see the reticle, so I have to assume I installed it correctly. Looking forward to sighting it in.
“They consider a 6 group at 100 yards to be exceptional. Your average red neck could outshoot them with iron sights on a 94 Winchester.”
7 of 10 in the 12” bull at 200 yards, irons sights, M-14, offhand position.
7 out of 10 in the 20” bull at 500 yards, prone.
No bench rest, no ‘scope.

“The sight is correct, its the rifle thats backwards!”
OUTSTANDING!!!!
On his behalf, they could have an armorer who installed it incorrectly. But they should stiill be sufficiently knowledgeable to eventually discover it. Somebody from FR needs to call em!!!
