Will these Leupold 2-piece bases fit my post-1996 Browning BLR Lightning?

Yes, model LE50238 is specifically engineered for post-1996 Browning BLR Lightning models as well as the Browning Maral straight-pull rifle. The two-piece forged carbon steel design ensures a secure, rock-solid platform that matches the receiver drilling pattern of these rifles.

Are there any electrical compliance marks or SAA approvals required for this firearm accessory in Australia?

No, this product is a purely mechanical steel firearm accessory and contains no electrical circuitry or batteries. Therefore, electrical regulatory requirements such as 240V compatibility, SAA approval, and RCM certification are not applicable.

What torque specification should I use when installing the Leupold 50238 bases on my Browning rifle?

It is recommended to use a torque setting of 22 in-lbs (inch-pounds) when securing these bases to your rifle receiver. The forged and machined carbon steel construction provides a durable matte black finish designed to withstand heavy field use in tough Australian hunting conditions.

What style of scope rings do I need to pair with these Leupold standard bases?

These bases are designed to interface perfectly with Leupold Standard (STD) style rings, featuring a pivoting front dovetail and windage-adjustable rear screws. For an ideal optical pairing available in our range, you might consider coupling them with a versatile scope like the Leupold Vx-Freedom Scout 1.5-4x28 Riflescope.

Browning BLR Scope Base - Leupold LE50238

The Leupold Standard (STD) 2-Piece Scope Mount Base (Manufacturer Part Number: 50238) is a precision-engineered mounting solution designed specifically for shooters looking to secure their optics with maximum stability. Constructed from forged and machined carbon steel, this non-reflective Matte Black base provides a highly secure, low-profile connection between your rifle receiver and riflescope. The discrete two-piece configuration of this base ensures optimal access to the rifle's breech and magazine area, facilitating faster loading, unloading, and clearing of cartridges compared to single-piece rails. Engineered for standard calibers under .300 Win. Mag., this base is designed to interface seamlessly with Leupold Standard (STD) style rings.

Key Features:

Two-Piece Configuration: Minimises overall mount weight and leaves the receiver breech open for unrestricted cartridge loading and magazine clearing.
Windage-Adjustable Rear Base: Features lateral windage-adjustment screws, allowing shooters to perform gross horizontal adjustments during initial bore sighting, thereby preserving the riflescope’s internal windage adjustments for precise in-field zeroing.
Pivoting Front Dovetail: Accepts standard pivoting dovetail rings, allowing lateral pivoting during installation to absorb mechanical stress and prevent bending forces on the scope tube.
Elevation Shimming Support: Supports the placement of shims under the mount for gross elevation corrections, preserving the optic's internal elevation travel for actual ballistic drop compensation (BDC) in the field.

Technical Specifications:

Manufacturer Part Number: 50238 (LE50238)
Material: Forged, machined carbon steel
Finish: Non-reflective Matte Black
Mount Type: Standard (STD) 2-Piece Base
Cant: 0 MOA
Recommended Torque: 22 in-lbs (inch-pounds)

Who It Is For:

This scope mount base is highly utilized across Australia, where lever-action and straight-pull rifles are popular for rapid follow-up shots under Category B firearms regulations. It is an essential accessory for Australian feral pest controllers and deer hunters who rely on the Browning BLR Lightning or Browning Maral platforms. If you require a rugged, mechanical-steel mount that maintains a zero-holding connection under harsh bush conditions without adding unnecessary bulk, this standard two-piece system is the practical choice for your hunting setup.
