These Talley 1-inch medium scope mounts for the Ruger American short action (Talley part no. 940725) are a one-piece lightweight alloy ring-and-base set. The rings and base are machined as a single piece from aircraft-grade aluminum, so there is no ring-to-base joint to work loose or drift out of alignment. The medium ring height keeps the scope close to the receiver, and the set bolts straight to the factory receiver holes without a separate rail. It suits a hunter who wants a light, simple mount on a Ruger American.

Key Specifications

• These mounts are designed to fit Ruger American Gen 1 and Gen 2 centerfire rifles, so the screw pattern matches the factory receiver.
• This set is for the short action, so the front and rear rings land over the right receiver holes.
• The rings take a 1-inch scope tube, which sets the main-tube diameter you can mount.
• The ring height is .500 inch at both the front and rear mounting locations, measured from the top of the receiver to the bottom of the scope tube.
• The design is a one-piece integrated ring and base, which avoids the alignment issues of two-piece mounts.
• The set is fully CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, which keeps tolerances tight and weight low.
• Weight is 2.2 oz per set for this tube size and height, which adds very little to the rifle.
• Front and rear hole spacing is .862 inch, which matches the receiver screw pattern.
• 6-48 screws and a T-15 wrench are included, so the set is ready to install.
