I just finished a Ruger 77/22 w/ custom laminated stock, & scope. I find that my scope rings are too low. They look to be about .75" from the c/l of the tube to the dovetail. Looking at auctions for rings, they are called low, medium, & high. I don't know what I have but need probably a little more than .25" higher to clear the bolt handle.
Any help appreciated guys, |

Burris makes the XTREME rings in a XTRA HIGH (1") size in 30MM or 1" tube size.I have them on an AR15 and they are very stout.

| Thanks Mark. That's about 1.2" and plenty. Is there a standard for the term "low, medium, & high"? |

| Your welcome. As for standard terms for scope heights, I really don't know. I just knew that these were available. Hopefully, someone here can educate us both. |

cbxjeff,
Nononsense is right on time. It is a shame that there has not been an established standard for all manufacturer's to go by. I am sure that you are looking for Ruger rings to mate up to your rifles reciever. You have not told us, what scope you wish to mount, or the major diameter of its objective lens housing, and the main tube diameter.
If we had that info, we could give you part numbers.

| I would probably go with the Burris Signature rings. |

I had the same problem with a 77 in 22 Hornet, their heavier barreled version. Tried to mount a 4 to 14X with a 44 AO bell and the rings were not high enough. I went with the Burris instead. |

Thanks for all the replies. I'm mounting a scope w/ a 1" tube. I need the bolt handle to clear the 1.70" dia power adjustment ring. Yeah, since this is a Ruger receiver and not a weaver mount, I'll need Ruger compatable rings. Nothing is easy anymore!
Thanks again guys, |

cbxjeff,
I have to admit that I read your description a couple of times and blew right by the fact that you were asking about a Ruger. 
This is from the 'ShopRuger' area on Ruger's website. It's called the Scope Ring Finder:
http://shopruger.com/searchscopering.asp
Use the drop down menus to select the rifle and look for a list such as this but easier to read in columns:
Step 2: Select the Scope Ring Size.
Scope Tube Diameter Scope Objective Diameter Scope Height Front Scope Ring Rear Scope Ring
1 inch 32MM Low 3B 3B
1 inch 42MM Medium 4B 4B
1 inch 52MM High 5B 5B
1 inch 62MM X-High 6B 6B
30MM 42MM 30MM Medium 4B30 4B30
30MM 52MM 30MM High 5B30 5B30
30MM 62MM 30MM X-High 6B30 6B30
Best.

Happy Birthday!
