4. NEVER CLIMB OVER A FENCE, JUMP A DITCH, SCALE STEEP HILLS OR
ROCKS, OR CLIMB A TREE OR TREE STAND WITH A LOADED FIREARM.
PRACTICE THE RULES OF FIREARM AND HUNTING SAFETY.
(See pp. 35 - 38)
Failure to follow these safety rules could result in a swivel accidentally becoming
detached from its base. If this happens, the firearm could fall, causing damage to
the firearm or scope, and even accidentally discharge resulting in injury or death
to yourself or others.
ATTACHING RUGER SCOPE RINGS
Each Ruger telescope ring is a mated assembly of a top and a base. Do not mix
the parts of the two ring assemblies as they are not interchangeable. On the
underside of each mounting ring assembly there is an integral lug, located off
center with respect to the front and back sides of the mount. The lug is nearer to
the front surface. By reference to the lug, the mounting ring can be correctly
assembled with the front of the ring toward the muzzle of the rifle.
1. Disassemble one ring and reassemble over the scope body between the turret
and the eyepiece. Remember - the lug on the base should be on the front side
of the scope.
2. Install the four top screws. Do not tighten.
3. Disassemble the other ring and install it on the forward section of the scope
tube with the lug forwardly also. Install the four top screws. Again, do not
tighten.
4. Assemble the rings to the receiver with the lugs engaging the recesses in the
top surface of the receiver. Tighten the clamp nuts so that the rings are locked
to the semicircular cuts on the sides of the receiver.
5. Rotate the scope until cross-hairs are aligned properly and slide scope to
desired eye relief. Then tighten the eight top screws each a bit at a time to grip
the scope body.
6. Sight in according to the directions with your scope.
