Correct Warne 1" rings for Super Redhawk

[LaneP]

I've been trying to research what the proper rings are for a Ruger Super Redhawk. It seems to be implied that the M77 rings will also fit the SRH but in photos on the web the two rings pictured always seem to be the same height.

Does anyone happen to know which Warne 1" rings (by part number if possible) are the correct one for a SRH?

Thank you!

"Ruger Quick Detach Rings are available in two different styles to fit either the Ruger #1 receiver design (which includes the Blackhawk and Mini 14 models) or to fit the tapered receiver style like the Ruger M77, Hawkeye & Super Redhawk. The Ruger M77 style rings are packaged as two different heights to accommodate the tapered mounting surface on this firearm"

That's from their website. I'd shoot them an email, they'll know their product the best.

Thank you. The part of their being two different heights for M77 style slipped by me. That's a huge help.

The Super Redhawk uses the staggered rings of the 77 rifle, only they're reversed. I love Warne rings and have them on a bunch of my guns but I do not like their version for the Ruger bases. They merely adapted their Weaver style rings to the Ruger style and not very well in my opinion. What I like for Ruger bases is the Leupold rings. I have them on all three of mine.

That's a big help. I guess I'm afraid (because I'm famous for doing so) of ordering the wrong rings. My scope is a Bushnell Elite and I measured the objective at 39mm so I'm guessing I need medium height and M77 style. I like Leupold and they look very solid. Thanks.

Here's the Burris 2-7x in standard medium height Ruger rings. Any lower and it will contact the rear sight. Could probably do low rings with a fixed power but not a variable.

I appreciate the help. Per suggestion I've emailed both Leupold and Warne to ask them what the correct part numbers are for this revolver. I am going to try mounting up my Bushnell Elite again, but now I've become intrigued by the red dots. I love their mounted profile in the pics provided by @CraigC.

I've had no luck with the stock Ruger mounts and even the Weigand mount gave me problems. I was looking at the bottom of my Weigand from the last time I had it on, and I can see where the hollow spring pins used to position the rail in the top strap cutouts were flattening under heavy recoil, then began driving up metal on my top strap. As the metal on the top strap was being peened up you can see where it started cratering the aluminum rail just ahead of the pins.

Everything was thoroughly snugged down and thread locked. However, the Elite is a fairly weighty chunk of glass and I'm sure the momentum produced under recoil causes significant stresses to be applied to the mount. I'm wondering if with the correct design mounts I can close the chapter on this saga (I have my theories of what that should be but want to see a Warne or Leupold up close to see if they have already addressed those).

Thanks again as always.

So the Warne part number is 1R7 for the SRH. I chose medium 1" rings to be compatible with my 39mm objective Bushnell Elite. I also did not pick the quick detachable. When I am confident what the Leupold part number is I'll order a set of those also and which (or both if that's the case) do the better job. Based on reviews my money is on the Leupold

They’re not.

My Warne mounts arrived. They appear to be rock solid with a good recoil lug and an evenly distributed grip on both sides of the frame cutouts. I would be surprised if these failed under recoil, and if they did, then I give up ever shooting anything stouter than .45 Colt +P with a scope mounted.

These are non-quick detachable, medium height rings. Clearance is plenty for my 39mm objective Bushnell scope. They are the part number 1R7M mount Warne CS said I should get to fit the SRH. It also fits the M77 and Hawkeye.

But I also wanted to get the Leupold mounts to try as well. Leupold CS said I should get their 50217 for the SRH. However, that part number corresponds to the Ruger #1 and 77/22 mount (not M77 as the Warne does), and does not seem correct for a SRH. When I look up the Leupold M77 type mount, they look more appropriate for a SRH, but it's the part number 49953, not 50217. I'm wondering if Leupold CS got confused and gave me the wrong part number.

In any event I'll give the Warne a whirl first and if they are satisfactory, leave it at that. The weather up here in the frigid north is not going to let me get to the outdoor range for a while, but I'll be ready to go when weather does finally cooperate

Glad to see they worked . Looking forward to a range report

You want the 77 mounts, not the No.1 or 77/22, those are equal height. 170351 would be the medium height, matte blued version. I don't see an option for medium height in silver.

That looks right, thanks Craig.
