Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Quick release rings for Ruger RSM?

Is Warne the only manufacturer of quick release rings for the Ruger? Any one have experience with these?

It's a good set of rings but don't expect anything mounted on a Ruger to return to zero.

I haven't used the Warnes but I have tig welded some levers on factory Ruger ring nuts with good results. I welded them so that they will index parallel to the action to give me repeatable torque values. I have several sets of Ruger rings in use and all of them routinely come to within 1/2" of original zero. The factory rings are fast enough to remove with a coin though if you don't find any QR rings.

I have some similar set ups that return close enough to zero for DGR work, as long as the positioning of the levers is repeatable.

Not saying it can't be done, just not gonna bet on it.

Just saying I have 3 sets of Ruger factory rings with levers - 2 on Hawkeyes, 375 & 404 Ruger - and 1 on an RSM 458 Lott, and they seem to work for me. Obviously YMMV.

These are the Hawkeyes African 404 (top) Alaskan 375 (below)



The RSM is a little different arrangement. If I dig up a pic in the next few days I'll post it.

another way maybe is try EAW from germany pretty sure they have it for you.

I had Warnes on my 416 T on a tang safety Ruger. I took it on and off a lot. I didn't see any change in POI. Maybe with a small bore varmint rifle you might see some change. I've had my regular Ruger rings on and off a good bit on my standard caliber rifles and have seen no change. I have the EAW system on one rifle and it also returns to zero, as do my rifles with European claws. I have a Leupold QR as well, on a 375. Only been on and off a few times, but still holds same POI so far.

Got a heavy nightforce 2.5-10x in a set of warne maximas, firing a 400gn TSX@ 2600fps. They work great, very stout, and repeatable.

I've used a set of warne quick detach's on my 458 lott RSM for 2 safari's and a few hundred full house practice rounds and I think they are great. As far as I can tell they return to zero very well. (as far as I can tell shooting 500grains @ 2300fps anyways )

I would heartily recommend them as the best 40 dollar rings I have ever bought
