Weird Rail on New Ruger 10/22?

[Buck Wilde]

I have a new Ruger 10/22 31215, which is a short gun with a threaded muzzle and a rail. It never occurred to me when I bought this thing that Ruger might make a weird rail that gives people problems. I see people on the web saying the rail is neither a Picatinny nor Weaver rail, but some kind of bizarre thing Ruger cooked up to fit everything.

Is this true? I want to put an Athlon Argos 2-12x42mm on it, but I don't want to buy rings or a mount until I know what Ruger is up to.

Looks like I will need rings with a height of over 0.92" to make sure the 2" bell clears the barrel.

I guess I could get a new rail.

It looks no different than the one they sell separately as Picatinny to me.

Thanks. I went through the specs and the manual, as well as lots of Googling, but I never thought to check Ruger parts.

Ruger replied to the inquiry I sent yesterday, and they say it's Picatinny.
