Leupold BackCountry Weatherby Mark V (9 Lug) Reversible Front 2-Piece 30mm High Matte Ringmount (LE171125)

The Leupold BackCountry LE171125 is a premium, lightweight mounting system engineered specifically for Weatherby Mark V (9 Lug / Magnum) rifles. By integrating the traditional base and ring into a single, streamlined unit, this system eliminates the traditional base-to-ring connection, removing a common potential point of failure. Machined from a single block of high-strength 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, it provides the rugged durability of steel at a fraction of the weight. This 2-piece ringmount features a Reversible Front (RVF) design, allowing shooters to mount the front ring forward or backward to achieve optimal eye relief and accommodate varying scope lengths.

Key Features

• Integrated Base-and-Ring Design: Simplifies the installation process and enhances structural integrity by eliminating the connection between the base and ring.
• 7075-T6 Aluminum Construction: Offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the mount can withstand heavy recoil while keeping the overall rifle weight down.
• Reversible Front (RVF): Provides additional mounting flexibility, allowing you to adjust the front ring position to suit different scope lengths and eye relief preferences.
• Magnum Recoil Resistance: Engineered to handle the severe recoil of large magnum calibers typically chambered in 9-lug Weatherby Mark V actions.
• Matte Black Finish: Features a non-reflective matte finish that resists wear and matches seamlessly with modern rifle receivers and scopes.
