If you find, like I do, that beads are hard to shoot consistently, the $20 Skinner flat-topped blade is a good choice. Comes in brass and steel, and two heights. Might need to be filed a little.
What fresh Hell is this?

Williams FP - the most precisely adjustable, most easily re-adjustable for different loads, but requires drilling and tapping.
Willams WGRS - Much cheapened over the years but still okay. Not precise to adjust, a knowledge of geometry and a dial caliper can help. As noted, use loctite after sighting in. Not something you fiddle around with after sighting it in.
Skinner and XS - High quality steel sights. Elevation more precisely adjustable than the WGRS if you know threads per inch count and can calculate sight changes. Windage on the Skinner is drift, the XS can use tpi of the aperture lock screws aka windage screws and geometry to get you there.
Both Skinner and XS sit up higher than either Williams sight so you get a more natural cheek weld with the comb height on most Ruger 10/22's. OTOH, both Williams sights put the apertures back a little bit closer to the eye if that is important.
Front sight - lots available, take your pick. A Williams Firesight is great for older eyes and/or quick acquisition,the Skinner blade is great for precise work.
I have owned and used all of the above except the Skinner rear sight. Favorite is a combo of a Williams FP and either Firesight or Skinner blade.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

You could buy one of the 10/22 Collector's Series.
Comes with a nice aperture rear sight and a shielded front blade, same as the Mini-14. Also a rail. About as nice a sight setup as I've seen on a factory .22

Paul Kind of want to stick with my old 10-22 that I bought in 1981. I have other scoped .22s, but wanted to go back to open sights on this one.

Maybe Ruger would sell the rail with aperture sight for the Collector's Series.
Looks to me like it attaches to the standard 10/22 receiver sight base holes.

Here's what I did with my stock 10/22 2-3 yrs. ago. First 10 shots, with the williams setup, at 25 yds. First 3 shots low and left. Adjusted the sight, the next 7 shots, spot on. The squirrel above, was the first shot at with the setup. A red head, DRT! Not bad for an ole geezer wearing bi focals. Do suggest that after it's sighted in, loc tite it in place. maddog

I really like the XS sights that I've got on one of mine. It's easy to see and pick up even in low light too.

I did the Williams on my fingergroove. The WGRS I think (cheaper one). Like mentioned up thread, it's not a sight to mess with after zeroing.
I'm a set it and forget it guy anyway, but found the new style sight to be a big cheesy.
Yanked it and went scope (good idea too, since my eyes have gotten worse).
