Frenchieboy Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have a bit of a problem with my Ruger 10/22 which I am hoping someone can advise on. It is currently fitted with a set of Sutter 8X56 Scopes which are great. The trouble starts with the fact that the scopes (Which are 25mm tube) are mounted on a set of high mounts which leaves over a half an inch gap between the end of the scope and the barrel! This means that for any target that is much less than 60 yards I have to allow quite a lot of height compensation as I like my scopes zeroed to 60 yards. This would normally be a straight forward job of changing the mounts to a set of medium height mounts but, unfortunately, it is not quite that simple! The bolt on scope rail on my Ruger is 20mm wide so i think I am going to find it easier and cheaper to get a standard 11mm wide bolt on scope rail if there is one available than it will be to get another set of mounts to fit a 20mm wide rail. Has anyoine else come across this problem before and if so how have you got around it please? I do have a post in the "Wanted" section for an 11mm scope rail if they are available!
