    Burris 4.5x14x42 scope ring size on a Ruger American Go Wild

    I have the above rifle and scope combo and I'm wondering what size scope rings to use. I'm going to be using Burris XTR signature rings. I'll probably put a flip up scope cover on also so I'd need clearance for that also. I'm thinking 1" rings????? Thanks for the help.

    Is there a rear sight to get in the way? If so sometimes you need the next size up. Never used either of those but generally speaking mediums work with 40-42mm objectives but the barrel taper and sights can sometimes mess things up.

    1” or 30mm is the tube size and must match your scope.

    No, rear sights. So is a medium about and inch and a half then? Oh I meant 1" tall rings. The tube size is an inch so yes I'll use an inch for sure.

    The height of the base to centerline of the scope is different from manufacturer to manufacturer and it is hard to find a table or chart with that data from most manufactures. Most however do use the term medium for use with a 40mm objective but that is not going to always be true. The barrel contour and the receiver and mount heights are another variable to account for. I have not been burned yet ordering mediums for up to a 42mm objective. If you are worried you can reach out to the manufacturer but most folks buy what they think it will take and if it does not work you can always exchange them.

    That's what I have been running into. I'll order those and if they don't work like you said I'll just exchange them. Thanks for the help.
