I guess you are on Ruger’s doo doo list since you are the only person I’m aware of that’s ever had this issue.
Not on the Rugers I have/have had, they use two different height rings.Sorry but they are supposed to be the same.
On the full size yes, but the 77/17/357/44/22’s use the same.Not on the Rugers I have/have had, they use two different height rings.
That is because of the design and how they are mounted not quality. Once fitted on that particular receiver and lapped they are a strong setup.No Leupold rings I have ever installed have had better than 50-60% contact, most are less than 50% - this is their precision. The cheaper Leupold rebrand/contract rings are just as bad as any of the other junk on the market, 20-30% contact.

A generalization for sure but it seems that the individual that takes the time to lap score rings is also going to pay attention to other details and thus do a good job with the install vs. those who just mount the rings and slap the scope on.
It actually fits real good , you just cant get greedy. You can see the rings are clamped good with room to spare.I'd think the sandpaper on the scope tube, being overall larger diameter, would hog the ring I.D. out to the point that it's too large to fit properly around the scope tube. It should get rid of the high spots, though.
Yes and they act like its not a problem.
I started lapping my rings when I upgraded to higher quality scopes. I was very surprised all of my ring bases were not contacting the scopes, by as much as 1/2. Lapping is simple and easy and the basic tool to do it cost about the same as a set of dies and will last a lifetime. Easy er on the scopes with better ring contact. hdbiker
I started lapping rings as I upgraded to better scopes. I was amazed at how little contact there was on some of them. Lapping tools are cheap compared to the price of a good scope. I've seen scopes damaged by miss aligned rings. hdbiker
After finding some scope damage from scope rings, I started laping rings while up grading to better scopes. Easy to do and the tools are fairly inexpensive. hdbiker
