hi guys
the latest rifle has me scratching my head. i need to bring the scope back 1.5" to fit me. wondering if they may have made rings that offset and face each other or maybe someone offers a custom rail that will do the same?
thanks chris

Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that. But if you're over age twenty-one, your life is what you're making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.

There are a number of offset rings available. I had this problem with my Ruger No. 1. I had to use offset rings, and a scope with more eye relief.
Be the person your dog thinks you are.

I have a Ruger #1B Hornet that I attempted to use with standard rings and a Leupold 6X18 VXII. This setup had insufficient eye relief so I obtained a set of rings with one offset.
http://www.ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/FAAccView?acc=1023%0A%09%09%09%09%09&facat=No.%201-B%20(Blued)&side=Scopes&type=Rifle&RI=Y
This brought the scope back enough so I can use it at full power. Coincidently, I now shoot the rifle more accurately as I have removed some strain that used to result in a wild flyer now and again.
By the way, Ruger also offers a double offset ring pair if needed.
