This is a question for my dad. He just bought a Ruger Hawkeye All Weather (in 270...I tried to talk him into a 280) and went to mount a Redfield 3-9x50 and found out the medium rings, that it came with, wouldn't allow enough clearance. I told him I would look around for a set of high rings for him.
Can anyone give me some suggestions on a set of rings? I'm not sure how much he wants to spend so all suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance. |

I'd just stick with Ruger rings. You'd just have to buy one ring, I believe. You can use the taller of the two provided and just buy one high ring. Can't remember if the front or the back is taller. I wanted lower rings on my Ruger Hawkeye, and I was able to just buy one.

I didn't do a lot of research before I posted my question, but that's what I'm finding out. The #5 that was supposed to go on the back (the rifle came with a #4 & #5) will be moved to the front and a #6 will have to be bought and mounted on the back. I think that's the route I'll go. Thanks for the help. |

I bought a M77 rifle last year. Great rifle. Only sighted it in at 50 yrd's. Many three shot groupings were touching each other. 1/2" MOA.
Make sure you tighten down the rings. Get a heavy duty screw driver that fits the slot. I got a 12 inch screw driver and was able to move the rings from a 10:00 to 2:00 o'clock position. If the rings are not tight enough, the zero will walk on you. |
