best rings for mini 14?

[jambrdly]

Is it best to stick with Ruger rings for a mini 14 or go with a pickatinny rail?

I would stick with the stock mini rings. They do the job just fine. They are just heavy...If your really worried about it lap the rings.

They will outperform the mini no doubt...

if your Mini-14 is a Ranch model, go for the see-through rings offered by Weaver. This will retain the option of using your iron sights in addition to your optic. If it's not a Ranch, consider the B-Square see-under rail for the same reason. Here is a shot of the Weaver rings installed...
