Just CALL RUGER, tell them what rifle you have and what scope you plan to use and they'll tell you what the correct rings are.

I don't know the hawkeye, but do know the original Model 77, the short action guns had bases made as part of the receiver and used Ruger rings.

The long actions (known at the time as the "round top") was drilled and tapped for regular scope mounts like weaver, etc.

I do not remember clearly any more been too many years since I had one, but I don't think the Ruger rings would fit weaver type bases, nor would "regular" rings fit the Ruger bases.

Does the Hawkeye take any rings or just Ruger rings? Ruger would tell you that too. Bet they'd even do it over the phone!
