10/22 bases and rings
 

what kind of scope bases, and rings, do you guys prefer on a ruger 10/22. The mount that comes with it doesn't work very well.

RE: 10/22 bases and rings
 

The 'tip-off' mounting rail that I first got with mine way back when was very disappionting. They are common on air guns and stuff, but I don't like them at all.

Go with a Weaver for only a few dollars more and have a MUCH more solid mount with grooves to keep things locked up tight.

These are a little costly but I like them a lot.

I use Millet rings and a Weaver type base on my 10/22s. Never had any issues with it, been rock solid.

Thanks, I think I'll go for the weaver.

on my 10-22 im using the base that came with it with leupold rings Ive been using it like this for about 2 years now and have not had any trouble with it. I really cant imagine what kind of trouble you are having with the base that comes with the gun unless you are using the wrong style rings..... could you be a little more specific? maybe I can help you fix whatever problem you are having.

My rings are always on there nice and tight, but after shooting a couple hundred rounds through it the base gets loose and wobbles arouind.

Myself, my dad and my uncle all shoot thousands of roundsthrough our10/22's during squirrel season and none of us have had any problems with thebases coming loose.

Go to home depot and get some blue loctite to use on the screws holding the base on. They wont loosen up anymore. Hope it helps.

RE: 10/22 bases and rings
 

what rings are you using??? that can play huge role in the problem. I had the same problem with some cheapo simmons rings i got at wally world. but after chaninging the rings to a set of Leupold rifleman rings I never had the problem again. theres nothing wrong with the ruger base aslong as you use the correct rings.

RE: 10/22 bases and rings
 

Im using some real cheap rings. what do you suggest for it? I just got my B square weaver base in the mail, the scope im using is a 4X32.

RE: 10/22 bases and rings
 

with the ruger base I suggest the leupold rifleman rings they are about 9 bucks at walmart. for the b-square weaver base Id use just about any weaver style ring. the b-square weaver rings are pretty nice I have a set of them and like them alot I also have several sets of weaver rings and they are great rings also.

RE: 10/22 bases and rings
 

I never use anything but steel rings on ANY rifle. I have millet rings and a weaver base on my 10/22. I would also recommend some blue Loc Tite for the screws on the base. The worst thing in the world is to get the darn thing sighted in and then have it go out of wack because some screws came loose. Blue Loc Tite is not perminent so don't worry but it will hold those scews really well.

Good luck
