Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Scope Ring alternatives for Ruger #1

I wish Ruger would come out with some off-set rings for their #1 because getting many modern scopes far enough back on the #1 is a problem.
Not just the typical 5/8 to 3/4 inch offset, but rings made JUST for the #1 that give about 1.5" of offset.

Another thing they could/should do is to make a quarter rib that is just for the #1 and comes all the way back over the top of the receiver, (like the one GPS Fan shows in his pics) so as to give us all more options to set our rings. The ribs they make now fit barrels in their M77 also, but don't give that extra length to the rear that is so helpful on a #1.

I would go with this rail before really long off set mounts. https://www.egwguns.com/scope-mounts-rings-hd-ruger-no-1-picatinny-scope-mount

The Conetrol rail also goes over the action. On mine the Meopta scope had a long barrel to it so worked fine with the Ruger mounts. I don't like the sort of teeter totter look the long scope has with the short ring spacing but will live with it for now. But I may go with the Evolution picatinny and Talley rings which the single screw version looks similar to the original Ruger vertical split rings. I will see what I think after a season of use first.
