Ruger no. 1 scope mount question
I have wanted a no. 1 for a long time. Finally scratched the itch. Planning on putting a Leupold vx3i 3.5-10x40 on it. I have read that the eye relief can be a problem with standard mounts. I have seen suggestions for Ruger extension rings or offset rings. I have no experience with either. Any no. 1 owners with experience with this? Thanks, CC

I used the Ruger "tall" mounts to fit the 54mm objective - ill send a pic if you'd like of my .300

Gotta find a balance between eye relief and being able to load.
I went with a Bushnell Elite 6500 due to the eye relief and I have been very satisfied

I have one made in 76 with a Leopold on it. Just a 40 mm. No issue with eye relief. It is fairly low down on the gun an loading is no issue.
It's not enough to simply tolerate the 2nd Amendment as an antiquated inconvenience. Caring for the 2nd Amendment means fighting to restore long lost rights.

I have warne QR rings on my 375h&h and 45-70. No problem with eye relief for me.

I have the Ruger rings on my 45/70 with a 50mm Redfield scope on it, never had any issues at all
