Just say no - Warne Maxima Ruger Rifle Scope Rings for 30mm PA Ruger M77

I’m not a fan of the Ruger mounting system to begin with - it’s different for the sake of being different, a pic rail is way better. That said I bought a Ruger 77/44 and needed 30mm rings for the optic I want to use, so I bought these. The recoil lug isn’t attached, it’s a separate piece that gets sandwiched between the 2 halves, which are split vertically, not horizontally. Which is again different for the sake of being different. These things were a pain in the butt to get on. Trying to keep the recoil lug in place, while your setting the optic in and getting it to grab right on the Ruger mount. At the end, I couldn’t get my optic to zero, it didn’t have enough elevation adjustment. I think it’s because this stupid recoil lug was sitting in the slot correctly. I remounted the optic 3 times before I gave up. I now have a Burris Ruger to pic rail adapter on the way and standard horizontally split rings. Garbage.
