I agree with stubblejumper totally. See-thru rings/mounts also offer only a small tunnel to look thru to see the sights. I recently took a WHOLE TUB of see-thru aluminum rings/mounts in that I removed ,long with my aluminum cans for scrap. Please listen to us and don't waste your money/time/bullets/powder and get a good 2x-7x scope,mount it as low as possible,keep it turned down,and you too will discover it's much faster than even "iron" sites. Iron sites automatically cover up 1/2 of the deer-everything below the site. Also,another reason to keep the scope turned down while hunting is if you do see a deer running and determine you have a shot,you'll be able to shoot with both eyes open. I can guarantee the genesis stock WILL be too low for you to be able to use see-thru rings/mounts. You'll have to raise your head plumb up off the stock in order to see thru the scope then,making it extremely awkward to use scope-hell,I'm a "hoghead" and even my cheeks are entirely too thin to use the darn things. I made the exact same mistake when I was 16 years old but quickly changed them out. It's an idea that sounds good on paper but is crap in reality. There's no free ride. However there IS an alternitive-quick release rings.
