Ironsighter 735 See-Thru Mounts: Elevating Your Ruger .44 Carbine Experience

For enthusiasts and hunters who rely on the iconic Ruger .44 Carbine, optimizing your rifle for peak performance and versatility is paramount. The Ironsighter 735 See-Thru Mounts, featuring a robust black finish, are engineered precisely for this purpose. These aren't just any scope mounts; they are a strategic upgrade designed to enhance your shooting capabilities by offering the best of both worlds: precision optics and instantaneous access to your rifle's iron sights.

Who Needs the Ironsighter 735 See-Thru Mounts?

Are you a Ruger .44 Carbine owner who:

• Wants to add a scope for improved accuracy at longer distances but doesn't want to sacrifice the ability to use your rifle's original iron sights for close-range shots or in scenarios where optics might fail?
• Seeks a reliable, durable, and easy-to-install mounting solution that stands up to rugged field conditions?
• Needs a versatile setup for various hunting environments, from dense woods where quick, instinctive shots are common to more open areas requiring precise aiming?
• Is looking for an affordable yet high-quality upgrade to unlock the full potential of your .44 Carbine?

If any of these questions resonate with you, the Ironsighter 735 mounts are an ideal solution. These mounts are specifically designed for the Ruger .44 Carbine, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal alignment, providing peace of mind and superior performance. These essential rifle accessories are readily available for purchase at DEGuns, your trusted source for firearm enhancements.

The Problem Solved: Seamless Transition and Uncompromised Readiness

One of the long-standing challenges for rifle owners considering a scope is the trade-off between magnified precision and rapid target acquisition with iron sights. Traditional scope mounts often block the view of the iron sights entirely, forcing a choice or requiring tools to swap between setups. This can be problematic in dynamic hunting scenarios or self-defense situations where conditions change rapidly.

The Ironsighter 735 See-Thru Mounts effectively solve this dilemma. Their innovative design features an elevated, open channel that allows you to look directly through the mounts and beneath your mounted scope, gaining an unobstructed view of your rifle's factory iron sights. This means you can:

• Engage distant targets with the precision of your scope.
• Instantly switch to iron sights for close-quarters engagements, backup in case of scope damage, or for fast, instinctive shots without needing to adjust or remove your optic.

This dual-option capability significantly enhances the versatility and readiness of your Ruger .44 Carbine, making it adaptable to a broader range of shooting conditions and personal preferences.

What Are See-Thru Scope Mounts and Why Choose Them for Your Ruger .44 Carbine?

See-thru scope mounts are a specialized type of rifle accessory that elevates the mounted optic sufficiently to allow the user to still utilize the firearm's existing iron sights. This design provides a clear line of sight under the scope's body, enabling a quick transition between aiming methods. For the Ruger .44 Carbine, a rifle celebrated for its compact power and versatility, this feature is particularly beneficial.

Benefits of Ironsighter 735 See-Thru Mounts:

1. Dual Sighting Capability: The primary advantage is the ability to use both your magnified scope for precision and your iron sights for rapid target acquisition or as a reliable backup. This is crucial for hunters who might encounter game at varying distances or in dense cover.
2. Enhanced Versatility: Your Ruger .44 Carbine becomes more adaptable to different hunting environments, tactical situations, and shooting disciplines. Whether you're stalking deer in a thick forest or sighting in at the range, your rifle is ready.
3. Reliability in All Conditions: Scopes, while highly effective, can be susceptible to fogging, damage from impacts, or battery failure (if illuminated). With see-thru mounts, your iron sights are always available, ensuring you're never left without a reliable aiming solution.
4. Durable Construction: Crafted from high-quality materials and finished in a non-reflective black, these mounts are built to withstand the recoil of the powerful .44 Magnum cartridge and the rigors of outdoor use. The black finish minimizes glare and ensures discrete operation in the field.
5. Easy Installation: Ironsighter mounts are designed for straightforward installation, allowing Ruger .44 Carbine owners to quickly upgrade their rifles without specialized tools or professional gunsmithing. This means less downtime and more time at the range or in the field.
6. Optimized for the Ruger .44 Carbine: The Model 735 is specifically engineered for the Ruger .44 Carbine, ensuring a snug, stable fit that maintains zero even under repeated recoil. This rifle, known for its rapid-fire capability and effectiveness in brush country, benefits immensely from a mounting system that complements its design.

How Do I Install Scope Mounts on My Ruger .44 Carbine?

Installing your Ironsighter 735 See-Thru Mounts is a straightforward process, but it requires careful attention to detail to ensure proper alignment and a secure fit. Here's a general guide:

1. Safety First: Always ensure your Ruger .44 Carbine is unloaded and the chamber is clear before handling. Remove the magazine and visually inspect the chamber.
2. Gather Your Tools: You'll typically need a small set of screwdrivers (often flat-head or Torx, depending on the mount screws), a torque wrench (recommended for precise screw tightening), and a clean cloth.
3. Prepare the Rifle: If you have any existing mounts or optics, carefully remove them. Clean the receiver's mounting points to ensure no debris interferes with the new mounts.
4. Position the Mounts: The Ironsighter 735 mounts are designed to align with the pre-drilled holes on your Ruger .44 Carbine's receiver. Place the front and rear mounts in their respective positions.
5. Secure the Mounts: Insert the screws provided with your Ironsighter mounts into the holes. Start threading them by hand to avoid cross-threading. Once all screws are loosely in place, begin tightening them. It is highly recommended to use a torque wrench to tighten the screws to the manufacturer's specified foot-pounds (refer to Ironsighter's instructions if available, or common gunsmithing torque specs for scope bases). Tighten in an alternating pattern to ensure even pressure.
6. Mount the Scope: Once the bases are securely attached, place your scope onto the rings. Loosely tighten the ring screws, allowing the scope to rotate freely.
7. Adjust Eye Relief and Reticle Level: Shouldering the rifle, adjust the scope forward or backward until you achieve optimal eye relief – the distance from your eye to the scope's ocular lens where you see a full, clear image. Then, rotate the scope until the reticle is perfectly level.
8. Final Tightening: Once eye relief and reticle level are set, carefully tighten the scope ring screws, again using a torque wrench and an alternating pattern for even pressure. Avoid over-tightening, as this can damage the scope tube.
9. Bore Sight: After installation, it's crucial to bore sight your rifle. This initial alignment brings the scope's reticle close to the barrel's bore, saving time and ammunition at the range.
10. Zero Your Rifle: Head to the shooting range and fine-tune your scope's zero. Shoot groups at your desired distance (e.g., 50 or 100 yards) and adjust your scope's windage and elevation turrets until your shots consistently hit the bullseye.

Following these steps will ensure your Ironsighter 735 See-Thru Mounts and your chosen scope are securely and accurately mounted, ready for reliable performance. All the components necessary for this upgrade, including the Ironsighter mounts, are conveniently available through DEGuns.

Choosing the Best Scope for Your Ruger .44 Carbine with Ironsighter Mounts

While the Ironsighter 735 See-Thru Mounts provide the ideal foundation, selecting the right scope is equally important for maximizing your rifle's potential. Given the .44 Magnum's ballistic characteristics and typical use cases (medium range, brush hunting), consider scopes with:

• Lower Magnification Ranges: A 1-4x, 1.5-5x, 2-7x, or 3-9x variable power scope is often ideal. This provides sufficient magnification for deer-sized game out to 150-200 yards while allowing for a wide field of view at lower settings for close-range situations.
• Good Eye Relief: Important for powerful cartridges like the .44 Magnum to prevent "scope bite" (where the scope recoils back and hits your brow).
• Durability and Shock Resistance: Choose a scope built to withstand recoil and outdoor conditions.
• Objective Lens Size: A 32mm or 40mm objective lens is typically sufficient for light gathering without adding excessive bulk.
• Simple Reticle: A duplex or simple ballistic reticle is often preferred for hunting, offering a clear sight picture without unnecessary clutter.

Remember, the beauty of the Ironsighter 735 is that you can pair it with your preferred optic while retaining immediate access to your iron sights. Explore the wide range of compatible optics and rifle accessories available at DEGuns to complete your setup.
