WTB Ruger No. 3 Scope rings/bases

[BamaBoyinFL]

Hello all! I am in need of a set of rings and bases that will fit a Ruger No. 3 .375 Winchester. Does anyone happen to know where I can find some? I am specifically looking for the original Ruger, Buehler or Redfield bases and rings, not the Weaver style mounts. Thanks much in advance for any and all assistance!

I went in the persuit of the same thing a few years back, finally found a set of Redfield 512032 SR #3 RUGER #3 CARBINE

Within hours of finding these I had a PM that informed me the No. 1 Varminter bases from Ruger work with the #3 as well.
I haven't tried this, but it's a maybe and sure looks correct. YMMV :wink:

FYI: My notes show, the difference in the front/rear base heights on the redfield is .128(.507-.379)

EDIT TO ADD THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
NOS Ruger Bases (SC-24) .126 (front/.277 - rear/.151) These measurements taken at the thinnest point/ centerline of the mounting screws.
-OR-
Over all thickness Rear .233, Front .349/378 averaged out .3635.
Take the average of the front .3635 minus the rear .233 = .1305

Conclusion: Ruger NOS SC-24/ thinnest= .126, thickest .1305, average .128 +/-.0005
Redfield .128

Note: the Redfield bases were easier to pick a place to measure, the reason for the single measurement, Milled out of a single piece of material, whereas the Ruger bases are cast.

can anyone verify the 1V block mount on a #3 working correctly?

I'd say no. They're different barrel profiles and different part numbers.
I can say that two rear 1V bases works on a "D" profile barrel, but that's just happenstance.
