GeorgeSPlease confirm - Ruger 30mm rings for a SS GSR
Ruger's ring finder does not list the Scout. I e-mailed Ruger CS on Friday, but they haven't gotten back to me yet (understandable, as there is a time zone difference and an intervening weekend).
I want to mount a Zeiss ZA 1.5x-6x 42mm scope on my stainless steel GSR. The rifle came with a #4 ring and a #5 ring; as the Scout is a Hawkeye variant, I presume I need the 4K30 and 5K30.
Is that correct?
For those who may have selected another company's rings, which did you choose?
thanks,

BoxheadI believe you are correct. My Ruger's use Leupold rings.

GeorgeSAlright, I've determined that the rings I want are the 5K30HM (front) and 6K30HM (rear). These will allow me to mount the Zeiss so it will clear the rail.
I ordered a 6KHM as well, so I can mount a 1" higher-magnification scope (in conjunction with the 5KHM that came with the GSR) for load development and longer-range shooting.
FYI, the HM is for 'Hawkeye matte', and will match the finish on my stainless steel GSR.
