Neither rifle is used that much. Should not take much to re zero. I have a nice 1x4 Leopold fire dot for them.
I'm very interested in seeing how to mount a picatinny rail on a Ruger M77, without drilling it. If anyone knows and has pics, please share.
Bob it a Ruger No.1. The M77 wouldn't work as the rings are different height. I just thought maybe someone made a River base.
At least on the newer Rugers, the rings are crappy. On two occasions, I have discarded the new Ruger rings (I think they are in my safe) and replaced them with Leupold, and so far they have never had to be adjusted.
My buddy broke his neck and couldn’t make a cheek weld on the stock any longer. He shot a BLR in 7 RM so we drove into Missoula, MT to the Gunsmith for some brain storming. We ended up with a custom built receiver mount that set the scope almost two inches off the centerline of the barrel to compensate for the way he had to shoot. Moral of the story is never give up, if there is a will, there’s a way!
Even though the OP was talking about a Ruger #1, here is a Picatinny mount for the M77.
Wow thanks! Just what I needed. Honestly didn't think it existed.
Bob, have one of those rails on my 6.5 Creedmoor. I really like it. He doesn't recommend it for heavy calibers, but I haven't had any major issues. Did have one of the base screws back out on me but I never snugged them back up after mounting and shooting some rounds through it which is something I always try to do. So I put that one on me.
