Burris makes a set of bases that adapts the Ruger mount to the Weaver style base. I use these on my .375 #1 with great results. It also helps with scope placement and eye relief.

Frankly, I don't see how any other make of rings could be any stronger than Ruger's all-steel rings. If there is any weakness, it is in the way the clamp screws engage the cuts in the sight base/rib. Any others will have to grasp the base the same way. I have never had anything loosen on a No. 1 scope mount setup, even on a .375 H&H or a heavily-loaded 7-pound .45/70. Some SCOPES have come apart on these guns, but not the mount!!

Ca_Reloader. I recently replaced the Ruger 1/4 rib and rings, not because I thought they were nt strong enough. But I simply could not get comfortable behind the scope which was to far forward.

I tried the Burris adapter but that did not help much besides it placed the scope ever higher by a 1/2" and added extra weight.

I solved the problem with two Weaver bases, a #57 for the rear and a #45 fot the front. The rear uses the existing Ruger 8-32 screw holes and front is drilled and tapped on to the barrel.

With the Weaver med rings I lost 11 oz of weight. The scope is now lower and in perfect position for my eyes. You can seee how I did it on my web page.Ruger Rehab

Sorry for the late response. In a word, Leupold. I have NOT used any European-made scopes on my No 1 .45/70, but other brands of scopes all came apart. This included Bushnell Scopechiefs and steel-tubed Weavers.
