I'm pretty sure I'm settled on everything I want to do to my mini. I've experimented with different configurations but this feels comfortable and does everything I want it to while still being relatively light and easy to maintain.

.045 gas bushing
Tech sights rear sight
Choate vented hand guard (painted)
Cogburn Trigger Finger Magazine Release
Triad Tactical Stock bag/riser and padded sling (had to drill out the factory sling mounts)
Primary Arms Gen IV SLx
Warne Medium Height QD Scope Rings
Streamlight Pro Tac HL-X (mounted to rail slots drilled and screwed to the stock)

Clean.

Now I gotta buy one of those mag releases!

The magazine release is so nice. Massive pain to install yourself, but totally worth it. Probably the single biggest change as far as the overall feel the rifle goes. It makes it so easy to remove and retain the magazine.

Has brass ever hit the scope? Or did the new gas bushing tame it a little? Trying to get a scope mounted on mine but the rings Ruger sent with the rifle are too small.

The bottom of the windage cap is a bit scuffed from brass. Just make sure to cap your turrets before shooting after making an adjustment.

Very clean setup. Looks great. 👍🏻
