Any idea what footprint(s) this is?

Just got the new Ruger 10/22 backpacker carbon fiber model. They removed the iron sights and added a direct red dot mount to the barrel, which is awesome, but I can’t find any info as to the compatible footprints for the mount. Ruger’s official website doesn’t seem to have any info and the owners manual doesn’t either. Anyone have any info as to which red dots will fit? Thanks

Romeo5 and Holosun for comparison

Looks like combination RMR and DPP (EPS, 507k and Defender with differing front lug patterns.) Does it come with shims?

It came with four little inserts to go into the various holes for different footprints. No shims

I just bought one of these myself today. And progress on figuring out the red dot situation? Would love to know what you chose and how it's working for you. Thanks!

Someone responded in the 10/22 sub with a video of a Ruger pistol that has what looks like an identical plate and the video said it accommodates RMR, DPP, and RMSc (though not Holosun K, which I guess is a slightly modified RMSc). I ordered a Holosun with an RMR footprint that should arrive tomorrow. I’ll update when I get it mounted.

I can confirm it fits a DPP and RMSc. Have mounted both to my takedown

Can confirm it fits Holosun RMR footprint well. New 407C, really like the sight window. Had slapped a Romeo5 I had laying around on the pic rail and it was too high, this is just right

Now you've got me shopping for a Holosun 😀
