Ruger 10/22 rail and scope question.

[Omi-san]

I bought a Ruger 10/22, my first rimfire gun, and it came with a small rail that can be screwed on top of the receiver. It's smaller than the rails I'm used to.

How am I supposed to know which rings or aiming device will fit on it?

Just buy a new weaver or picatinny base and your good to go with the rings your used too.

Yes, this might be your best best because the rail that comes with the ruger 10/22 is a TRUE Weaver, and only (to my knowledge) works for rings and accessories that are Weaver brand with the narrower cross channels (0.15").

Weaver / Picatinny (I have no idea WHY they use the word weaver here) has the more universal wider channel (0.18" "weaver" or 0.206" picatinny) for mounting.

You can use standard Weaver type rings, or "rimfire" 3/8 rings. I wouldn't suggest the latter.

I added a Power Centre receiver scope rail, Leupold rings to mount my Mueller APV.
