Do you only get the rear ring or are the sold in pairs?

Hi just the extension ring you will need a medium ring to go with it on a #1

Thanks Gramps
I thought it was called extension but Ruger has it listed as an offset ring.
And yes I already have a med set on the gun but I want to move the scope to the rear to better suit my aim

So just to confirm you only get the rear ring, correct
I'll answer this myself. Just ordered one from Ruger $44 shipped.
And yes only get one. They said it would give me another 1/2".
But then they said if I installed a pair it would give me 1"?
I don't see how because if I install the rear ring and move the scope back the 1/2" it'll be hitting the turret again.

Just a heads up. I needed two offset (extension) rings on this No.1. The front or objective on this Leupold was as far back as it would go with the standard ring. Two offset rings did the job, but the medium or # 4 height is a bit high for me on a No.1

I should be able to move it back the 1/2" with the one ring. Or at least I hope so.

It fits. I was able to move it back to the front objective. IMO it's just right for me now.
Very good! Both are nice examples. I always enjoy it when you guys throw up a pic of your No 1s. As you have found, whether you need one offset ring or two, depends on the specific scope and how far back it is allowed to move. This issue of not being able to move the scope back far enough is a commom complaint with the No1. I am often asked to cut off buttstocks to remedy this problem. While this might be the correct solution for some, it does lesson the guns value and I'm always careful about doing that. I like the way you have chosen to handle this "shortcoming".
