So I picked up a Ruger Hawkeye AW in .308 earlier this year, and a SS 1-4 for it a few weeks later. So mounting it is next, and there is where we hit a wall. It seems the lowest ring Ruger makes is a No. 4 medium. This would need to be used on the front mounting point, and as a higher one must be used on the rear, a No. 5 high ring would be needed. This will place the scope far higher than I want it, and look retarded to boot. Anyone else have this issue, and has anyone come across a good solution for it? Short of spending more coin than I want on a Picatinny base and rings, I have not found a workable solution.
