Title: What style scope rings for ruger American 30-06
Post by: ruttnbuck on September 29, 2019, 08:41:36 AM: So I just picked up a ruger American 30-06 "go wild" and looking to put scope on it. It has the stock picatinny base installed. I'm looking at putting a luepold vx freedom 4-12X40 on it, my question is what rings should I use for that style rail? I was looking at the Burris zee rings medium height... what would you guys prefer?? Thanks

Make sure you are torquing to factory specs :tup: I've played with over a dozen ruger Americans and every single one was a shooter. You should have a great setup on your hands!

Both my boys have Ruger Americans in .270 and I have one in 7mm-08 and they all have Warne bases and rings.

I installed a Nikon 4-16x50 and warne rings did not have to use the higher height rings on it. This is my second ruger American and really like how they shoot.

I like their vertically split maximas, but I’ve never had a set mount true enough to install per the instructions(I always have to leave the bottom screws loose to be able to adjust/rotate the scope before tightening everything up).

I’ve had good luck with the Burris zee rings, I especially like the quick detach rings for my guns with irons. A little cleaner looking and lighter than the warnes.
