if you're talking the original style Ruger American with the original stock I like pulling the picatinny rail and replacing with the one piece Dead Nutz system it gets your scope mounted about as low as possible if you buy the correct height there is no ringing base connection it's all the One piece unit. I've got three I think it is set up with those I really like them and how they work..., I just reread the original post and you were actually talking to Gen II the same amount would do Austin on them you just might want to buy a slightly higher one so it gives you good eye - scope alignment
