Thread: Ruger m77 30mm rings and scope idea's

Last year I upgraded my binos and wow what a difference, started spotting more deer instantly also the extra detail, it has convinced me that good glass is worth it so I'm tossing around the idea of upgrading my scope, looking at the swaro z3 3-9x36, 3-10x42 and leupold vx5hd 2-10x42

The leupold is 30mm so I would need new rings which has to be added to the cost, would need to be stainless and I imagine genuine ruger as I have not come across any others that fitt.

Any body know who would have them and what sort of price they would be?

I like the idea of the small light swaro but if it's not bright enough it's pointless.

So how much difference between the 2 swaro scopes do you think there would be, is it a noticeable brightness jump?

Currently running bushnell elite 3200 3-9x40 which is about 16yrs old and served me well but it's got a few scratches on the lens. Rifle is ruger 6.5x55, mostly mixed north island hunting bush bashing to open tops, currently I dial my bushnell by removing the dust cap and dialing so I only do it if I have plenty of time, the leupold would have the cds which would be an advantage, but I'm more after glass quility.

Any other thoughts from you guys with experience would be much appreciated

Cheers
