I bought my daughter a Ruger American Rimfire Compact, which comes with a glossy blue finish, and then added a Leupold VX-1 Rimfire 2-7x28mm scope, which is also glossy blue. I'd like to match the rings to the glossy finish of the rifle & scope. But, the 3/8" dovetail that's integral to the top of the Ruger receiver is "humped" while almost all of the 3/8" rimfire rings that I look at, seem to be made for "flat topped" dovetail receivers?
The only 3/8" rimfire scope rings that I've been able to find that fit (so far) are Leupold Rifleman rimfire rings that are matte black. Leupold shows glossy Rifleman rings in their catalog, but, I can't find any. I also tried the nicer Leupold RF rings, but, the "hump" got in the way.
What are all of you other Ruger American Rimfire owners using for scope rings?
Thanx, Dave.
PS - My 2-7x28mm scope does not have a large objective bell, so, I want to get "low" rings. And I'd rather avoid mounting separate bases using the tapped receiver screw-holes, and then adding rings on top of those bases, for the same "low" height reason.
