Listen to Ruger...he knoweth of what he speaketh...The see-through mounts are a joke. The height puts them even further from the " center" of the barrel. The closer the crosshairs to the barrel, the more accurate the gun at all ranges.

Like RR said, the fact that the mounts are higher make them more " flimsy" . More room for error.

The mouns also make you hold your head at a funny angle when looking through the scope.

Plus, what are the odds of having time to think which to use. Just use the scope...

I have a Rem 760 Gamemaster in .270. You made an excellent decision. Mine won' t shoot 1/2" groups...but that' s not what it' s for. It' ll bang out 2" groups at 100 with ANY ammo.
