Ruger American Rimfire Target (Scope Mount Height)

["Kyltro"]

Hi
Could someone tell me please, what is the height of the scope mount + barrel taper?.
I need to buy the scope rings, but I don't know how tall they should be.., because my ruger rimfire target ss will arrive in two more months.

Thanks.

I run .82 Low rings from Seekins

I'm running Warne Mediums with a 30mm tube, 50mm objective. I also know Vortex Precision Mediums work great.

I had Badger low rings on mine with a LRTSi scope. I also put the EGW base on it

I'm running Leupold Rifleman 30mm medium rings with a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 on mine. The scope just clears the barrel, not by much but I can see light between the bell and the barrel.

I should have gotten "high" rings, they are only .2" taller, and would allow for flip up covers on the scope.

Hello
I appreciate your answers, they have been very helpful.

Will this one piece mount work on the factory installed picatinny rail?

Thanks.

I could be wrong, but it doesn't appear from the photos that the factory rail is cut to picatinny specs, especially the solid center section of the rail. Your one piece mount with that center cross bolt doesn't look like it will fit. However it does look like Ruger sells an actual picatinny rail for the American Rimfire rifle https://shopruger.com/Ruger-American-Rimfire-Picatinny-Scope-Base-Rail-22-LR/productinfo/90674/ .

Hi

I knew the center bolt would not fit but I am interested in getting the ends to fit properly, the groove for the center bolt can be machined later.

Regards.

I have the Ruger American Rimfire Standard in 22WMR. I have Weaver two piece mounts. But measuring between the front and rear mounting holes, I came up with only 80mm. Your mount requires 120mm of spacing.

I have mounted a Vortex DB 6-24x50 with 30mm low Pro rings on both the stock rail and now the EGW 20 moa. No clearance issues.

A longer, aftermarket base like that EGW is what he'll need to use that large one piece base.

That one should work fine.

Hello

With all your valuable answers, I already know what is the correct measurements for the installation of my scope.

I have concluded that the installation should be with one-piece scope rings, because they are more precise in their horizontal alignment.



thank you very much to all.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful rifle/scope combo. I have the same rifle but my scope will be an inexpensive (cheap) athlon.

I’m looking at this rifle. What was your experience with it. How well does it shoot. Think I could use it in a NRL22 match?

It's a decent rifle for the price. You could use it for an NRL22 match.
