Questions & Answers
what rings would you recommend for a Ruger American 450 bushmaster Expert Answer

Because this Vortex Viper riflescope uses a 44mm objective lens, you will need to use at least medium height picatinny rings to clear the lens over your barrel. You can essentially use whatever brand you like for rings that are a medium height and fit a 30mm maintube. I would recommend using the Warne Mountain Tech 30mm Scope Mount Rings which can be found by using the link below:

Helpful Positive Review A real hunters scope! by Legacy Reviewer, February 27, 2012
