Description
These Warne Maxima rings are purpose-built for the grooved dovetail receiver on Ruger M77 and Hawkeye bolt guns. Because they machine right to Ruger's proprietary tolerances, they clamp directly onto the receiver and skip the separate base altogether. That means fewer parts stacking up between your scope and your bore, which is always a good thing when you want a rock-solid, repeatable mount. They handle a 30mm tube at medium height, matte black finish, and ship as a pair sized for the tapered M77 mounting surface.
What the Quick-Detach System Gets You
The real draw here is the indexable lever. Tighten the levers thumb-and-forefinger tight, and you can pull your optic off the rifle and reattach it later with the zero intact. Warne backs these as return-to-zero, so pulling the scope for travel, storage, or switching to irons doesn't mean a trip back to the range to re-sight. You can also pull the lever out, rotate it to whatever position clears your gear, and let it snap back into place so it never gets in your way.
Built to Take a Beating
These are solid steel, vertically split rings, so they shrug off hard recoil and hold heavy scopes without complaint. A Ruger-specific scalloped recoil control key seats into the receiver dovetail for positive engagement, and a stainless steel recoil lug keeps everything locked down under stout kick. The rings close around the scope with four T-15 Torx socket cap screws, and Warne recommends 25 in/lb on the ring caps.
Mounting Your Scope the Easy Way
Installation is straightforward: set the rings on the receiver with the recoil keys in the slots, push each one toward the muzzle to seat the key, then snug the QD levers. Once your scope is leveled and positioned for eye relief, torque the top screws and index the levers wherever you like. The medium height works well with common objective sizes, giving you clearance without sitting the scope too tall off the bore for a comfortable cheek weld.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these Warne Ruger M77 rings need a separate base?
No. They are machined to fit the grooved dovetail on the Ruger M77 and Hawkeye receiver, so they clamp directly onto the rifle. Skipping the base keeps the mount simple and solid, which is one of the nice perks of the Ruger-specific design.
Will these rings actually hold zero after I take the scope off?
Yes, Warne lists these as return-to-zero with their indexable QD lever system. You can pull the optic for travel or storage and reattach it later without re-sighting. Just make sure the levers are snugged correctly and the recoil keys are fully seated when you reinstall.
What size scope tube and objective work with the medium height?
These are built for a 30mm scope tube. The medium height gives clearance for mid-sized objectives, commonly up to around a 52mm bell depending on your exact scope. If you're running a very large objective, measure your clearance to be safe before committing.
What tool do I need to mount a scope in these rings?
The ring caps use four T-15 Torx socket cap screws, so you'll want a T-15 Torx driver. Warne recommends tightening the cap screws to about 25 in/lb, so a torque wrench helps you avoid over-cranking. The QD levers themselves only need to be snugged thumb-and-forefinger tight, no tools required.
