Is the 2nd edition any better that the first?

The less than desirable peep sight is not adjustable enough to get a zero, I've tried.

Dont know if Ruger fixed the peep, but plenty of  minor gunsmithing fixes online for it.

235$ is a pretty good price considering the threaded muzzle,  swivels installed, straight butt, adjustable stock comb/pull and nice long picatinny  scope rail.

Plus you get a 25$ gift card to boot.

If someone could tell me how you're supposed to adjust these sights that would be awesome!

Here is the instructions for the factory sights and the link..... http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?action=post;topic=46816.0;last_msg=325368

The sights adjust for both windage and elevation at the rear sight.  The front sight is a non-adjustable blade with protective ears which is installed in the dovetail at the muzzle, just like the standard 10/22 front sight.  The Ruger's rear sight works very much like the front sight on a metric pattern FN FAL.  The rear sight aperture is threaded, and adjusts for elevation by screwing it either in or out of the rear sight base.  Windage is adjusted via push screws on either side of the rear sight base, which also serve to lock the aperture securely in place when the desired sight setting is reached.  A 5/64" Allen wrench is required to adjust the sights, and is a must-have for anyone who owns one of these rifles.  To adjust elevation, use the Allen wrench loosen one of the push screws to take the pressure off the aperture, and then rotate the aperture either clockwise or counter-clockwise to lower or raise it, respectively.  One half rotation of the aperture moves it 2.5 MOA.  Note that the rear sight will be somewhat stiff the first time you adjust it, and may require using pliers, or sticking your Allen wrench or something of similar size through the aperture for leverage, in order to get it to rotate.  After the first adjustment, the rear sight should become loose enough that you should be able to turn it by hand once the side screw is loosened.  Once you have made the desired adjustment, tighten the same screw you earlier loosened until it is secure.

Here is how to replace the rear with Mini 14 tech sights....  http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=43961.msg316558#msg316558

The only differences I see between this one and the original design contest winner is the stock and Barrel.
The original came with High and low comb height stocks, and was a ss barrel.
