I have a ruger 96/22. I can't find a scope base for it. I was thinking 10/22 base would work for it. it does not. Looked all over the net including the ruger home page, they all say that the 10/22 base will work on the 96/22. what should I do?
keep looking for it or mod the one I have?






if you can see in the top and bottom photo I can get on screw in but you can't see one hole is off a little and the other 2 are not even lining up.



I do have it on backwards right now I was trying something. same thing both ways. I am out of ideas. any input would be great?
