is it just me or does the rings not look right? the rear is a number #5 and the front is a #4 its how it was off the hawkeye.... could be different strokes for different folks though?

cheers

Nope! Doesn't look right to me,either. Reverse those two first. If that doesn't work,check which rings should be on the No.1 . There may be specific types just for that rifle.

Bet you kinked yer tewbs.

Some Rugers have staggered sizes and some don't. The #1's mostly take two of the same height. A pair of #4's should get it done right.

 

[thepitchedlink]

Yup, No1's use two rings of the same size

This is correct!! The #1 Ruger rifles use two rings of the same height.
As Looky mentioned, you probably damaged your scope by mounting it in two different height rings.

Re-mount the scope with the right rings and set it up with a bore sighter. If it's badly off kilter,you'll know right away.

 

[WhelanLad]

if I sit it back straight an tighten it a bit, wont it bender back in if it was out a bit??
is the damage potentially internal?

hmmmm

shoot n see? only way? adjust it around a square?

It depends on how much you want to spend on ammo before the lightbulb goes on that it's pooched. There's no "bender" back. If it's bent,it's garbage.

 

[WhelanLad]

Haha, yeah i wonder ,
What or how does it ruin the scope?

If it shoots a dozen to the same spot, isnt it good to go or am i missing a bit?

 

[CraigNConnor]

If it shoots fine than its fine

 

[cam1936]

Shoot a square, if you tightened the rings down though the scope is probably pooched. Don't know until you try though. As mentioned, the M77 takes two rings of different height and the No. 1 have two of the same height. Did the No. 1 not come with rings?

Nah mate it was 2nd hand thru a gun store,..... so they woulda took the rings if it came with it? or the original owner kept em.


while on subject, sounds suss... but how tight would u guys tighten a scope an which way? oneside first then the other? all evenly?
avoid crushing or crush the tube a bit? screw em til its tight?


might sound sus but I have not mixed an matched scopes, or plan to as much as this week coming.... ideally, don't wanna kept Foorking scopes by #boganstuffups LOL

piss of BUM )

Easy way to not crush a scope tube is by using a torque wrench and following manufacturers torque specs for the rings and scope.
