The Leupold 1.5-5 + an extended ring did the trick for me. 6.5x55 1A. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think." Joe Harz "Always certain, often right." Keith McCafferty

Used an ext ring at rear. Only needed a bit. Another B model w a reg 3-9x Vari X ii. Offset again at rear. Have another B w Vari X iii 3.5-10x. Yup, it will get an ext ring at rear. My neck just doesnt work like it used to.

Using an offset ring in the rear position allows you to use whatever you want, but just as importantly, it increases the strength of the mounting and your scope tubes ability to withstand an inadvertent knock or drop... all of my No.1's have the 4BO in the rear position. With the 4BO I use all of the standard VX-3 lineup on my No.1 rifles.

I ended up puttiing a silver VX 11 3x9 because it had better eye relief. I recently got a 200 anni 1B in 6mm that if I don't find a 1A in 270 to trade for by next season I will probably try a VX III 3x9 50 on. A bowhunter at heart but a gun guy at soul. I'll take craftsmanship, wood and blue steel over plastic and composite any day.

Saw this (Weaver slip-over mount) on EABCO - I know it would be sacraligous to the purists. I'm a function before form type of guy https://www.eabco.net/Ruger-Number-One-Scope-Mount--Slip-Over-Weaver-Style_p_14160.html
