Not sure that it helps much, but the difference in Warne "medium" QD rings and Ruger factory "low" rings is over 1/8" (exactly 0.145" according to my most recent Brownells catalog). Although not as easy to remove and remount, you might want to take advantage of Ruger's free ring exchange program, and have them send you some factory "low" rings.

As already mentioned, it seems the Leupold 1.5-5x would allow the most mounting options since it doesn't have a belled objective lens.
