On the ruger do you guys use the rings that come with them
Yes and no.
I have a Hawkeye Predator. Rifle comes with mediums. I used them for an older VX-1 4-12. I bought a set of lows for the illuminated Mark AR 1-4 it's wearing right now. Amazon has good prices and a good selection of rings so you can match the rifle's finish. I like the look of the gray rings and matte black scope, but lots of people don't. There was a big discussion a while back about the various color combinations possible.
I would be okay with the Leupolds as well if I was going to use matte black rings.
