Warne rings and bases do not fit ruger 10-22 - Warne Matte Base Set For Ruger 10/22 M858918M

I bought this equipment because I saw a youtube video produced by Warne in which a guy shoots his 10-22 with iron sights, puts the scope on and shoots it, then takes the scope off and shoots with the iron sights again. That was what I wanted so I bought the same equipment that was in the video.

Turns out, once you put the bases on, you CANNOT see the iron sights on my Ruger 10-22 so I paid almost 90 bucks and still didn't get what I wanted.

Warne folks have subsequently told me the bases and rings won't work on the older Ruger 10-22s, the ones with the fold down sights. Wish I would have known that BEFORE I shelled out the money.

BTW, I purchased a $14.00 set of see through rings and integral bases from Weaver, and they work wonderfully.
