I ordered some new 30mm high rings for my Redhawk to mount the 30mm Ultradot I just ordered. When I received the rings; or should I say ring, singular.

I didn't realize they were sold in singles, not pairs.

Anyway, I look at the screws to at least see if the height I ordered was ok with the Ultra Dot. When I unscrewed the top mount to check and saw 3 torx screws and one Phillips. I thought it was weird so I called Ruger.

They stated they were transitioning to ALL Phillips head screws for their rings....

I cant see why they would change them out for Phillips, the lady on the phone didn't know either. She was just told they were transitioning and that I must of gotten a mis-matched pair by accident.

The only logic I could see was that it would prevent people from over tightening the rings.....


Any Ideas?

That's about the dumbest thing I've heard in awhile.

Phillips?!?! Really?!?!

Yea Im with you on it.... I ordered the 2nd 30mm so Ill see what happens when it gets here. I told the lady that I wpuld prefer if she sent me all the same screws.... be in phillips or torx just to be uniform....

On a 44 mag its going to be a test of strength

*************************UPDATE****************


Just recieved a call back from Ruger. A new person that called stated the prior person was "mistaken" . All scope ring screw are torx and mine was just an error in packaging.

They are sending me a new replacement for the one phillips as well as the other 30mm ring plus 8 new torx for my 1 inch rings
