I'm going to look at a #1 international tomorrow at what sounds to be a very attractive price BUT there are no rings with it. IF this comes home with me does anyone have a set of rigs they would sell or point me in the direction where I could find a set. I checked Midway but no luck there.

Midway does carry pretty much the full line of Ruger rings--gloss blued, matte blued, stainless, etc. And in all heights...offset also.
I think I have a spare set of 4B's at home that I could probably part with. I'll have to check when I leave work.
If I were you though, and you do buy the rifle, I would try calling Ruger. Tell them you just bought the rifle second hand and the rings were not supplied. Their customer service is remarkable and I wouldn't be surprised if they sent you a pair for free.

Thanks War Eagle. I searched Midway for scope rings and Ruger scope rings but got nothing but I'm not the best with these machines.:)

What scope are you gonna run? Don't be surprised if you end up needing an "offset" ring. I have a neck, but am no giraffe and still needed one for my old M8 4X.

This right here^^^^^^^ I think my Ruger rings are probably all in a box somewhere. I've switched most every Ruger ring out for the nicer, lighter, *better* Leupolds.

I think #1 rings are not the same as 77 rings front and rear. I believe I read somewhere that the 77's have two different heights front and back (eg., 3 and 4) while the #1 is the same height front and back. Might want to check and be sure.

I have some extra rings also; should be a set of Leupold offset, not sure if they are highs or mediums.

I like the Leupold rings. Amazon often carries both kinds, if you know which ones you need.

Im thinking Leupold Vari XIII 2.5X8. FWIW my Leupold 2.5-8X wouldn't fit without two offset rings. One is ugly enough IMHO. 4X M8 w one offset ring (has since been moved slightly more rearward) [img:center] [/img]

Yeah, what works varies somewhat from person to person and scope to scope. Old K6 Weaver in low rings. Just a fit.

I have several No. 1 Rugers but when I bought my 1-S back in 1998 Ruger was no longer supplying rings with them. I actually called Ruger about it and that's what they told me. I ended up putting Burris Signature rings on it but I don't think Burris sells those any more.

Never heard that before, the one pictured above, bought about 10 years ago, came with mediums which Ruger swapped for lows, free of charge.

I ended up buying the International 7X57 and another #1 in 6.5 Creedmore. The 6.5 came scoped with a Vortex 3X12X42 and has had a box of shells through it and the 7X57 a half box. If I need off set rings I'll use an Elite 3X9 I have on a M70 06 that I don't shoot. I'll call Ruger tomorrow as previously suggested and see if there willing to do some customer service and send a set.

I just spoke to Ruger and War Eagle was correct in that they are sending a set of rings at no cost.
