A few weeks ago while hunting pigs in Florida (or rather trying to hunt pigs.... ), I had a mishap and my SRH took a tumble out ofmy ladder stand, plunging 12 feet to the ground after bouncing off of the base. Nothing was broken, but there were a few new minor scratches. Wasn't sure if I need to resight or not, so I didn't think about it. Upon my return from Florida, I took my .475 out to the range, set up a target at 50 yards, and shot it off of sandbags. The first shot was a bullseye, the remaining four were in the ten ring. I loaded it one more time to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and this was the result:



I'm not a consistent shooter of groups, but will usually make my first shot absolutely count. I HIGHLY recommend Ruger rings where you have the choice to use them.

I have to agree, they held well on my 454 Casull.

The Ultra Dot held up fine too. I looked it over and found no damage.
One tough combination!

Everything Ruger seems to make is heavy duty so I am not surprised!!!!

i try to find better ways to test equipment then fall 12 -14 feet from stand

NO!! Red dot for failing eyesight!

Some years back, Talley made ruger style mount blocks for the more common rifles like ABolts, remingtion, W'bys etc. Brownell carried them. I changed almost all my bolt guns to use the ruger rings. Talley no longer produces them nor responds to reqst for them.

So, while lil' pricey, I've good experiences w/Warne QD on my revolvers ~ however, if it has the ruger integral mount, I use the ruger rings.

Redfield/leupolds may work out ok on revolvers but I've not tried them after experiencing several failures on rifles (thats what drove me to seek out the Ruger system).
