What specific rifles and scope diameters is the Leupold Backcountry Ringmount 171118 designed for?

This ringmount is engineered specifically for the Browning AB3 (A-Bolt 3) receiver, ensuring a perfect fit. It is designed to directly accept any riflescope with a 30mm maintube, making it versatile for a wide range of optics.

What are the main advantages of the integrated design and material choice for this ringmount, especially for Australian hunters?

The integrated base and ring design eliminates potential failure points, simplifies installation, and ensures precise alignment. Constructed from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum, it offers exceptional ruggedness at a light weight of approximately 82.2 grams (2.9 ounces), making it ideal for demanding Australian backcountry hunting conditions.

Does the Leupold Backcountry Ringmount 171118 come with all necessary hardware for installation, and how secure is the mount?

Yes, the package includes all necessary mounting hardware. The screws feature pre-applied lock-tight to ensure a vibration-resistant and rock-solid fit, providing reliable performance even under heavy recoil during your hunts.

What is the ring height of this model, and how does it benefit scope mounting?

This model features a medium ring height of 0.97 inches (24.6 mm). This height is optimized to keep 30mm tube scopes with moderate objective lenses as close to the barrel as possible, which helps achieve an improved cheek weld and consistent eye alignment for better shooting accuracy.

Are there any specific Australian electrical compliance requirements for this Leupold Backcountry Ringmount?

As a purely mechanical firearm accessory, the Leupold Backcountry Ringmount 171118 does not contain any electrical components. Therefore, it does not require 240V compatibility testing, an Australian plug, or SAA/RCM electrical safety certifications, making it fully compliant for the Australian market.

Scope Ringmount - Leupold LE171118

The Leupold BackCountry Browning AB3 2-pc 30mm Medium Matte Ringmount (Model 171118) is a lightweight, high-strength mounting solution engineered specifically for the Browning AB3 (A-Bolt 3) rifle platform. By combining the traditional base and ring into a unified, two-piece system, this ringmount eliminates the connection point between the base and the ring. This integrated design reduces potential failure points, simplifies the installation process, and ensures precise alignment for 30mm maintube riflescopes. Machined from a solid block of aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum, this system delivers the rugged durability of steel mounts at a fraction of the weight.

Key Features:

Integrated Ringmount Design: The unified base and ring construction eliminates assembly complexity and enhances structural integrity under heavy recoil.
7075-T6 Aluminum Construction: Offers high tensile strength and durability, making the mount highly resistant to deformation and wear in harsh environments.
Medium Height Profile: Measures 0.97 inches (24.6 mm) from the top of the receiver to the center of the scope tube, optimizing cheek weld and eye alignment for scopes with medium-sized objective lenses.
Vibration-Resistant Hardware: Includes complete mounting hardware with pre-applied thread-locking compound to prevent screws from backing out during field use.
Matte Black Finish: Features a non-reflective surface treatment that matches standard rifle receivers and prevents glare in bright outdoor conditions.
