Do Weaver-Style bases work on picatinny rails? Or do I need to specifically find a picatinny base for my picatinny rail?
Thanks,

Thank you Brent. Until you wrote what the difference was between the weaver and picatinny spacing, I was looking at the ring clamps to see if the cut outs were different in some fashion. Then after reading about the spacing on the weaver I saw the two larger non-lined sections. It really does make sense about the weaver mounting to the picatinny but not the other way around.
I'm still looking for a decent but sub-$100 red dot or 1x scope for my Ruger. Having the above explained in more detail really helps, so again, thank you.

Ok, I'll take a look there too.
Side question: This seems like a really cheap price. Any thoughts on whether or not it would be a cheap option to let me install new sights in my basement?

Now where the heck would you have read about filing the groves to get it to fit? ??? I never heard about such a thing! Except in my original post that is.
To each their own, but I think its a waste of money.
Half the fun of getting a new gun, new optics is getting out to the range, and shooting the thing to find out where it actually shoots, and then correcting it.
There was a video floating around that showed a guy that forgot to take one of those out of his center fire rifle, and put a live round in.
Pretty ugly.
