Hello To All

I plan to mount a 30 mm scope on my Ruger SRh 480 but I will need to buy some 30 mm rings.

I would like some input on what would be the best set of rings to put on my revolver. I seem to recall reading that Millett Angle Lock rings work better than the factory models. I figure that the people on this board have experience in these matters so I would like some advice.

Should I buy some Millett rings? Should I go with standard 30 mm factory? Any other suggestions?

Thank you

I've heard the opposite. Leupold also makes rings for Rugers, but I've never had a problem with factory Ruger rings.


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

If you've not used/mounted the 1" rings that came with the gun, Ruger will exchange them for 30mm for no extra cost (other than maybe shipping.)

I bought a set of Warne Quick Detach 30mm rings that I can't use if you might be interested. The reason I couldn't use them is that the saddle of the UltraDot 30mm that I wanted to mount is only about 1mm too wide so that the rings wouldn't work. Unfortunately, the rings weren't cheap but they're not of any use to me.

Here's what they are: http://www.opticsplanet.com/warne-30mm-medium-matte-quick-detach-ruger-77-rings-54258.html

What I ended up doing to mine was add the Weigand SRH+ Mount and use regular 30mm rings. http://www.jackweigand.com/srh.html
But it does eliminate the use of the fixed sights.
