Ruger rings

[ben-o]

What are the highest quality rings available for a Ruger m77? I’m aware of the Alaska Arms (I have a set and like them), but I don’t need quick release levers and I’d prefer to spend less than $175.

It’s for a fairly heavy recoiling rifle, so I need them to hold well, and hopefully look nice too.

Doesn't the Ruger 77 come with proprietary rings that fit the receiver?

I have a Ruger M77 Hawkeye Long Range Target in 6.5PRC. I’m using Badger Ordinance. Holds zero & rock solid.

For looks, ya can't much improve on ruger rings and the way they fit the receiver. I've never had any trouble with them. jd

Leupold makes a nice quality ring.

I would go with Leupolds version if I couldn't get the Ruger brand. One thing I've noticed is no mater whose rings used on ruger dedicated mount systems, I would highly recommend lapping them in after mounted. To bad Burris doesn't offer a Signature ring for those mount's. They have become my ring of choice for anything from airguns and rimfire, to centerfire sporting and varmint.

I have Leupold's on my 300WM and they have held up fine. Purchased a new scope and the Ruger ones that came with the gun were not tall enough. I would have bought Ruger again but would have had to order them and the Leupold's were in stock at Cabelas.

They used to but quit making them for some reason. You can find a set on ebay from time to time.

They come with them, but I got a used rifle that doesn’t have them. It is a proprietary dovetail system that only works with rugers.

Ruger sells them.

If you go with Ruger rings, this chart should help assure you order the correct set.

Your rifle has a picatinny rail, older Ruger's have a proprietary ring mount system. Usually the rings are 2 different heights but not always.

I have used some Burris Ruger rings and they were fine.

Interesting. I never knew that about the older Ruger rifles.

Yeah, the Ruger 77, 77 MKII, and Hawkeye use two different height rings.
For example, low in the front and medium in the rear.

Ruger #1 & #3 use the same height front and rear proprietary Ruger type rings.

Warne…..I think I have a set if you are interested…PM me.

I use Leupold on my #1, it is my heavy recoil stopping gun. I've never experienced the scope moving. The gun is a Winchester 1885, (new manufacture) in 17HMR. I use the 17 grain V-Max to help reduce the recoil. It certainly stops sage rats.
