OK I am going to plan B. I will purchase a Leupold VX2 1-4x20 to mount on a Ruger#1 450/400. Can anyone share pictures of how they have theirs mounted? And also give the ring height they used. Thanks in advance.

I currently have that same scope mounted on my No.1 .450/.400 3"(soon to change to a VX-3 1.5 x 5) and just used the stock Ruger rings that came with the gun. Slide the scope as far forward as possible and good to go.

Would the scope be centered in the rings or would I need offset rings so its centered?

Some guys need an extension ring but for my length of pull, etc. I'm fine with just using the regular rings and moving the scope forward as far as possible. Mine mounts and points very nicely with this setup - everything in immediate alignment and focus. I suggest before getting an extension ring,set your scope up and give it a try.

Thanks

Here is my set up, no extension rings needed.

Are those Warn QR mounts?

Yes. Maxima Series Steel Rings Ruger # 1 Quick Detach 1 inch Tube Medium Height Matte Finish. Warne Part # 1RLM

This is my #1 in .458 Win Mag with a VX3 in the standard Ruger rings

Thanks I just ordered the Warne rings and the scope!!!

Here's my .375 with the same scope. good choice.
My quarter rib is custom but I think they are tallys so you get the idea anyway.

I have a Leupold Euro 1-4 30mm in Talley QR rings on my No 1 450/400. Plenty of eye relief at 1X and a little diminished at 4X.

I also have a Ruger No 3 in .30-40 Krag. It wears NO 1 wood. I have a Burris 2-3/4X Scout scope on it and eye relief is not an issue at all with that one.

I installed the scope. I also installed a trop safety(what a nightmare).

Looks good. Slider is that a Boddington model? I would be interested to get that style rear sight for my non-Boddington model.

Cheers, Chris

Yes, it's the Boddington Model. It was unfired but I changed that!!! lol
