Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles ruger 77/22 rings ?

found a ruger 77/22 that needs rings. will any of the ruger 77 rings work or do i need to search out specific 77/22 rings? the rifle is $199 so i'm buying it without. tough to track down?

Rick35: I own a bunch of Ruger 77's in centerfire and one Ruger 77 rimfire in 17 HMR and to tell the truth I can't answer your question - I do know Ruger #1 rings won't work there on your Ruger 77.
But I do want to prompt you to buy that Ruger 77/22 even at $199.00 without rings that is a GOOD buy!
I am starting a search to see if ANY Ruger 77 rings are interchangeable.
Best of luck with your new Rifle!

PS: Maybe I will go down in my gunvault and "eyeball" the rings on my Ruger 77/17 V/T right up next to one of my Ruger 77 centerfire V/T's.

thanks, im buying the 22. just gotta find the right rings. much appreciated, rick.

22 Mag?

I killed about 2 dozen muskrats with my aunt's husband's 77/22 Mag. I would love to own one.

You need 2 rings the same height. No 1s and Minis also use pairs the same height, but the 77/Hawkeye series need 2 different heights.

nah, its a .22lr. always wanted a 77/22. should be a squirrel sniping machine. 22 mag would be cool though.

Same rings as a no.1

sweet, thanks.

Same rings as all Rugers, but they both need to be the same height.

Centerfire 77s take a taller ring on the rear, shorter on the front.

Rimfire 77s, Minis, and #1s take same height both front and rear.

Rick35: I remembered a Ruger 77/22 V/T that is for sale on consignment ($600.00!) at my local pawn/sport shop and I went and inspected it this afternoon - indeed the 77/22 takes a different ring set-up than the more prevalent centerfire Ruger Model 77's!
While the pawn/sport shop had a couple of Ruger factory ring sets for sale they did not have the correct set for the Model 77/22's.
Like others mentioned the rings for the Ruger 77/22 need be the same height as each other while the Model 77 centerfire rings are of differing heights.
But the shop said they could order the 77/22 rings in quickly.
Again best of luck with the 77/22!
