Ruger 1″ Scope Rings: Precision-Engineered for Defense & Range

When you’re building a defensive or range-ready rifle, every small component affects accuracy and reliability. Scope rings are one of those often-overlooked parts that, when chosen correctly, create a rock-solid optic interface and consistent zero. We approach gear the way trained shooters do: prioritize fit, durability, and repeatable performance so you can trust the rifle when it matters most.

RUGER 6B SCOPE RING M77 HAWKEYE AFRICAN EXTRA HIGH 1″ is purpose-built to mate a one-inch tube scope with a larger objective bell. Designed specifically to accommodate a scope with a one-inch tube diameter and a 62mm objective diameter, this ring is sold individually and gives builders the flexibility to set elevation, clearance, and optic alignment without forcing a move to larger, heavier ring sets.

Why these scope rings matter for defense and range use

When we evaluate a scope ring for defensive and precision applications, we look for exacting fit and predictable geometry. The Ruger option here is intended for rifles like the M77 Hawkeye where the optic’s objective is large — 62mm in this product’s description — and needs extra height to clear iron sights, gas blocks, or large muzzle brakes. Using a ring that matches the scope tube diameter (one inch in this case) preserves the optic’s tube integrity and prevents stress that can cause shifts in zero.

Key fit and form points

This product is specifically noted to fit a one-inch scope tube and a 62mm objective diameter. That combination tells a builder immediately whether these rings are the right choice: if your scope has a one-inch tube and a 62mm objective, this ring resolves the clearance issue without resorting to risers or cantilever mounts. Because it is sold individually, you can mix heights or pair it with other Ruger rings to build the exact stack you need, which is useful for customizing cheek weld and eye relief on different rifles.

Specifications, compatibility, and practical benefits

Brand: Ruger. Category: Scope Rings. Model: Various (this indicates Ruger makes matching pieces and variants to suit different stocks and receiver heights). Price is listed at $25.19 — a low-cost, mission-focused component that won’t break the budget but can deliver meaningful improvements in installation and sighting.

Compatibility checklist

– Scope tube diameter: 1 inch — confirmed fit.
– Objective diameter: 62mm — the ring’s extra high profile gives the needed clearance for that large objective bell.
– Sold individually — purchase the exact number you need for your rifle and allow for cross-compatibility across Ruger models and other bolt-action platforms that accept ring mounts.

For those working on M77 Hawkeye configurations, these rings are a straightforward OEM-friendly option. If you’re mounting a 62mm objective scope to a platform with a low receiver, the extra-high ring avoids scope contact with the barrel or handguard and preserves a comfortable, repeatable cheek weld.

Installation tips from the range

Install these rings with the same methodical approach we use on every build: clean mounting surfaces, verify base-to-ring torque spec, and center the optic in the rings to maintain proper eye relief. Because each ring is sold individually, start by loosely installing the rear ring and fully seating the front ring during initial alignment. Use a torque wrench for the ring cap screws to avoid over-tightening the one-inch tube, and re-check your zero after the first 20–30 rounds on the range.

Tools and procedures

Recommended tools include a set of gunsmith screwdrivers or bit sockets, a torque driver set (in-lb range for optics screws), and a rear-action support or bipod to stabilize the rifle during bore sighting and live-fire checks. If you’re swapping optics between rifles, keep in mind that the extra-high stance of this ring can change cheek weld and may require stock adjustments or a different recoil pad to maintain ergonomics.

Application scenarios: defense, hunting, and precision practice

These rings work well in multiple roles. For defense: the extra-high profile allows fast mounting of larger-eye-relief scopes without sacrificing alignment or risking scope-to-barrel contact. For hunting and long-range practice: a 62mm objective gathers light for low-light shots while the one-inch tube is a common, lightweight choice among traditional hunting scopes. The Ruger heritage associated with the M77 Hawkeye platform makes this ring a sensible match for operators who prefer matched components from a trusted brand.

Value and purchasing considerations

At $25.19 per ring, this is an economical way to achieve proper optic height and fit without shifting to pricier two-piece aftermarket systems. Buying individual rings lets you tailor height in combination with another ring or a matched pair designed by Ruger. Always confirm that the scope’s tube is indeed one inch and the objective is 62mm before purchasing; the product description specifies those exact dimensions and that it is sold individually.

Field takeaways

For anyone assembling or refining a rifle built around the M77 Hawkeye or similar bolt-action platforms, RUGER 6B SCOPE RING M77 HAWKEYE AFRICAN EXTRA HIGH 1″ is a focused solution for mounting a one-inch tube scope with a 62mm objective. It’s sold individually, comes at a modest price point, and gives you the flexibility to achieve the clearance and eye-relief geometry you need for defensive readiness and effective range performance.
