About two years ago I bought a used Ruger No. 1, stainless, from the local Cabela's store. As customary for Rugers, the rifle came with a set of stainless steel rings.
Recently, I tried to mount a scope, and discovered that the rings are of different height. One is medium and the other low. Which of course makes mounting the scope impossible. The rings aren't labeled--you can barely see the difference. Who the heck checks ring height when buying a rifle?
I'm asking for opinions on whether I should complain to Cabela's. Has it been too long? (At least two years since I bought the rifle.)
Should I not complain because it was a used gun?
What say ye?

You can certainly make them aware of the issue without complaining. Perhaps it was a simple error that they would be more than happy to correct.

I haven't googled this yet, but I believe some rifles are actually sold with such as you speak. I don't know if this No. 1 is that way, but I'd check around to make sure.

Jim I just googled and on the Ruger forum the No.1's use the same height front and rear. The 77's are 2 different heights.

Yes, the rifles use the same height; but I was provided different heights.

no need to complain tell em what happened, they either fix it or they don't - I believe they should
and if they don't, you'll consider that before you buy from them next time but then you gotta spend the 40 bucks to get the right ring

Be sure and let them know you are a lawyer.

you have nothing but time to loose talking with Cabelas , with any luck you get a new set if rings , if not it was a used gun and it has been some time.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

If you have the receipt from the original purchase, it can't hurt to see if they have a used ring that would work if nothing else.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
