42mm Obj. and low rings on Ruger Amer.
Got a Ruger American rifle and a Sightron 42mm objective lens. With the mounting bases that come on the Ruger (picatinny) will the Warne Low mounts work or do I need medium? Reason I ask is because the picatinny bases that come with the rifle look like they add a few extra mm to the scope height.

These are the rings I am talking about.

Unless someone with the same setup comes on amd tells you yes, you are really just guessing. If they are too low and you can't return them, I wouldn't buy them just on a guess. I feel it's best to go to a shop with your gun and that way you can definitely get what you need in one try even if it costs a little more to do it.

The Ruger American is a 70 degree bolt design, so low mounts shouldn't be a problem with bolt clearance. The Warne rings are a bit heavy, but rock solid - good choice.
