For my first post, I'll ask a ??? that didn't seem to be answered before.

I wish to put a 50mm BSA on my ranch and the Ruger rings are to "short" to aloow this.
The Leupold 77/22 rings appear to be close but are slightly "off" when I tried them.

Has anyone else found a set of rings that will work????

The Ruger rings that come with the Ranch are the Medium Rings. You have to buy the Ruger "High" rings to accomodate that scope. They also make the Extra-High, and Low rings too. Check with your local retailer or you can order them from Ruger, CheaperThanDirt.com, sportsmansguide.com, etc.

Kali-

The Ruger-to-Weaver you are talking about is what I have on my Mini-30. Its a Weigand "bridge". http://www.scopemount.com or more directly, http://www.scopemount.com/mall/ruger_ranch_rifle.asp
The picture looks like its for a Ruger 10/22, but the concept is the same.

This will allow you to attach a scope using standard weaver-style rings, and it will also lift the scope a little allowing your scope to work. The only 'problem' I've had is the cheek weld is kind of blown because it is now too high. But that is easily compensated for by getting the right cheek pad.
