Just measure the outside diameter of the tube on either side of the turret housing and that's the diameter of the rings you'll need. Probably either 1 inch or 30mm.

Did some searching and every description I found for that specific model indicates it has a 1 inch tube.

1" Medium height matte cross slot or picatinny style rings should fit your scope and rifle.

Wouldn't be my first choice. They look like Chinese knock offs that people use on their airsoft rifles.

Edit: I'd stay away from any rings that have cloth tape inside them to secure the rings to the tube.

What ones would you recommend I'm new to this.

I don't do product recommendations. If I do and all goes well I'm a hero, but if there are problems I'm the bad guy. That being said, rings are just like every other firearm accessory. There are those that are high dollar trash and those that are low dollar treasures. The best values I've found fall, as usual, somewhere in the middle. I'm a fan of Vortex rings. Good quality and reasonable prices, but the same can be said for numerous other brands.

There are a ton of different choices out there. I like Vortex rings for the price but there is Warne makes a good one as well. Everyone on this forum has what they would recommend and what they think is the best. I would do some research and come up with your own thoughts and decisions.

Good hope it all works out for you. Good luck and keep us posted.

Will do thank you !

You have lots of good info here so far. I had an M1 A and would recommend that you do do scimp on rings. The rifle recoils well on the shoulder but that recoil is hard optics. Quality rings are a must to maintain zero.

 

[Rudedog]

That's do not scimp on rings.
