Rail on Ruger 10/22?

[mark schultz]

When I bought My Ruger 10/22 it came with a viridian eon 3-9x40 scope. I don't know if the rail came with the rifle or the scope. I'm trying to find an offset scope mount for ruger 10/22. I went on amazon and found one saying it fit weaver rails. I thought I had weaver rails. It didn't fit. I returned it. Can anyone tell me how I can get one that works on my ruger?

More info would help, do you have a link to the one you bought / returned?

You might just need to move the rings.

Or is the objective bell of scope not clearing the barrel?

 

[mark schultz]

The clamp at the bottom of the rings doesn't reach far enough down to clamp to the sides of the rail. There's a hump in the middle of the rail that keeps it up too high to latch on.

anyone heard of a Ruger rail?

You might have this Weaver style, with the rimfire grooves on top. Some rings won't clear the raised part. Most Weaver bases are flat or grooved.

See if you can find yours to identify it, or just order a new base of some kind.

I did not know if they were still doing this. LONG ago last 10/22's I bought came with a rail that is NOT 1913. Ruger seemed to be using a rail that was different than everyone else's for some reason. Fix was simple, I just searched for 1913 rail for Ruger 10/22 and found some. Just looked at Amazon and they are offering rails to fit the 10/22 in both Weaver and 1913. I never have understood why Ruger decided to use something out of the "standard" like they do.

Is it the cross bolt on the rings interfering with that 'hump' in the middle of your rail? If so, an easy fix is to mark the interference and make a groove across that rail with the edge of a small flat file. I've done it a few times.

I'd love to find one of those vintage NOS boxed mags to set aside for my 1967 10-22

Doesn't really answer your question, but I got a set of these and lost the rail on my 10-22. Got a Nikon 3-9X on there, works great.
