10/22 scope mount question

[Just1more]

I installed a scope on my Ruger 10/22 using the factory scope rail and the rings that were already on the scope when I got it. With a bore sight laser in the barrel, I can’t get the elevation to adjust enough for the laser to meet the crosshairs. The scope rings may be too tall but I had figured the scope had enough adjustment. Is the fix to replace the rings with a low-profile set? What else am I missing?

Good morning. I cannot speak for the bore site capabilities but from what I can see in the picture the height should not be a deterrent. The old classic see-through mounts are a very similar height. I have some elevated cantilevered mounts that are pretty high as well and have never had issues with scope adjustability. It could indeed be the scope.
If you do not intend to use your fixed sites, I would encourage a lower set of rings for the closer distances that you will be shooting.

Thanks. I’ve got a set on order along with a better rail. I don’t use it for long distance so hopefully it will dial in with the low profile set.

Non tactical rings will be better suited for the gun as well.

Save yourself a lot of struggle and put an actual picatinny rail on there and then some standard pic scope rings of the appropriate height. Those rings you have are most certainly too high (Holy High Chinweld Batman) and don't appear to even mate well with the base.

And buy someting from a known mfg. The uber cheap Chinese crap off Amazon, ebay and wish cause a lot of issues.

Something like an EGW rail is cheap, but they have a pretty good track record. https://www.brownells.com/optics-mo...-bases/ruger-10-22-scope-bases-prod87791.aspx

Or a Midwest Industries: https://www.amazon.com/Midwest-Industries-Ruger-Scope-Mount/dp/B005HJ9IUW

And for rings on the budget end, https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1020789393?pid=748317

Love me some Vortex rings..

I think the egw is what I have on my takedown, it allows you to remove scope and still use irons without removing the base.

I love some leupold rifleman rings on a 22.
