Questions & Answers
Hi there. What kind of mouting rail and hardware should I order to put this scope on a brand new ruger 10/22 takedown? Manufacturer Answer

On the Ruger 10/22, we would recommend a 1-piece picatinny rail, like those offered from EGW Guns. Pair with a set of Hunter 1" medium rings for best fitment!

Here are some links:
