Has anyone replaced the slot head ring screws that come with the Ruger No.1 factory rings? I'm wanting something like a T-10 thats less easy to booger up when torquing down.

The little bit of searching I did turned up that a set of 6-40 x1/4 T-10s would drop in for the factory slot head screws. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks,

O-Ag

What do the Ruger factory ring screws measure in length?

The newer rings come with Torx screws:

Thanks!

Yes these are the old style with the slot head. Soft, and tear up too easy when trying to torque down.

There is a place on Ebay that sells replacement screws. But their OD might be a thou bigger, and the heads a little shorter.
They sit flush, where the reg Ruger Torx sits up a little.

Wish I could find some long Torx for my vert split rings lower screws. I'd change em all.

I think that was the reason I paid more for those on Amazon, actual price including shipping was less than Ruger's.

O-Ag,

I’ve used Brownells p/n 080-924-464 for my older Ruger 77/22 factory rings and they seem to be a perfect Torx head replacement for the factory slotted screws. They are 6-40x1/4” T10. A 12-pack is $5.99 per their website.
