Ruger M77 Receiver Pattern for Scope Rings

[KenLee]

Use the Leupold rings made for Ruger 77. Do not use the Warne vertical split ones. They will pinch your scope tube. And be prepared to lap.

No it’s not a Remington 700 profile. Rugers use their own integrated rail system. Not my favorite system for precision, but they are plenty strong.

Agreed on using Leupold rings and not vertical Warne. Make a feller cuss loud.

All good ruger M77s are milled to take "Ruger Rings" they are a proprietary design. There were a few early production that were milling errors which escaped without the transverse cuts for the aligning bar on the bottom of the scope rings. You have some kind of adapter base bolted to the receiver.

Think REAL HARD before you move away from Ruger Rings. Ruger Rings SEEM like a pain in the neck, until you see the advantages.

Any decent gun shop will stock them, despite them being less common than picatinny rings.

The ADVANTAGE to ruger rings are:

Sleek
Low profile
VERY STURDY
Very stable to temperature changes
Very impact resistant

The uncanny ability to unbolt the ring bases, remove the scope with rings on, and reinstall the ring bases without losing scope zero. It will be very close if you are consistent with torque.

Once you have several of these rifles, and have different sizes of these rings on hand they are pretty awesome. I also like having the top of the receiver open, it gives more room for my fingers than reaching under a rail.

Embrace the ruger rings.

There is no place to attach Ruger rings to my rifle. The base you see is a Leupold base I’ll be removing. The only thing under it are drilled and tapped holes, no slots for the Ruger rings.

I’m really pretty dedicated to getting an integrated bubble level, so that’s why I’m looking at the Hawkins.

Bubble level on an old M77?
Better flip that coin to see if you have a shooter first.

You have no frigging clue, so would be better served shutting up and taking notes. He has a roundtop, which is NOT an 'early production error model'. It is an early production factory cataloged model. Either SL or PL depending if iron sights or plain barrel. Where do you guys come up with this crap? jfc.......

Hey, I found one of those screwed up Ruger's without the OEM ring mounts. I am going to buy it and make a fortune.

It’s got irons, though the rear was gone before I owned it, and I put a scope on it right away. Which one does that make it?

I'm pretty sure the PL's had the sights. But that's been a looong time ago.
