Hi, Here are a couple of ways to go with the Mini-14.
Best way to go with the Fast Fire III, keeps that sight low and in the best position to keep out of the way.---->

The Amega Rail is the most flexible. You would mount a Primary Arms Mini-Dot just ahead of the receiver. This keeps the red-dot low and clear of the ejection port.---->

Primary Arms - Best inexpensive micro-dot period. I have a TRS-25 and a Primary Arms MD-06. The MD-06 is hands down better (check reviews on various forums if you don't believe me).---->

The other way to go is to buy 30mm rings for the Mini at Mounts Plus and then mount a red-dot in the rings. I think this takes 30mm rings--->

I would NOT mount a rail on top like this ---->

If you use the Weigand mount your red-dot will be mounted very high and this will affect your cheek weld.
I have experimented with the GGG option and the 30MM rings option, but I've heard good things about the Amega option as well.
