Posted under another section -- probably the wrong place to ask. have a 10/22 stainless that came with a attached stainless rail. looking for recommendations for rings that will fit. Rings that came with the scope are too narrow to fit (1" rings). Will weaver quads do, if not what are my options for budget rings for hunting rabbits & birds/plinking - thanks
Advice on scope rings for pick rail

Weaver quad locks will work fine if you can get them for a decent price.
Sounds like maybe the rings that came with the scope are for a 3/8" rimfire groove and you need something for a weaver type rail.
What height are the rings that came with your scope?

The rings that came with the scope we'll call .22-type rings, or 3/8"-type rings, and the rail that came with your Ruger requires 'Weaver'-type rings (or what Leupold calls cross-slot rings). A Weaver-type rail has more-narrow slots, compared to a Picatinny-type rail, and Picatinny-type rings generally require wider slots, compared to Weaver-type rings, so while Weaver-type rings will fit a Picatinny-type rail, Picatinny-type rings won't fit onto a Weaver-type rail. All that to say - if you want to use the rail that came with your Ruger - you'll need some Weaver-type rings.
Thanks!!

It's not a picitinny rail that comes oem. It's a dual weaver, dovetail.
Height of the rings depends on your scope objective.

Get Burris insert rings of the correct diameter with the Weaver style mounting system. No damage to the scope body, and they are adjustable for cant. - dan
