This base is designed specifically to mount on Marlin 336 lever-action rifles, utilizing the factory receiver mounting holes. It features a 1-piece Weaver-style design that is compatible with standard Weaver-style scope rings.

What materials are used to construct this scope base, and how much does it weigh?

The base is precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum to provide a high strength-to-weight ratio without adding unnecessary bulk to your rifle. It weighs approximately 0.19 lbs (86 grams) and features a low-glare matte black finish.

Does this mounting base require any electrical certifications or SAA/RCM approval for use in Australia?

No, the Leupold Rifleman Gen2 base is a purely mechanical firearm accessory containing no electrical or battery-operated components.

This base provides a reliable platform for mid-range hunting setups on lever-action rifles popular in Australian conditions. It pairs exceptionally well with compact optics such as the Leupold VX-Freedom Scout 1.5-4x28 Riflescope for quick target acquisition in thick scrub.
