The Leupold QR Remington 700 RH-SA 1-piece Matte base (model LE51247) is a high-tolerance, machined steel scope mounting platform designed for right-hand, short-action rifles. Engineered to secure optics under heavy recoil, this base utilizes Leupold's patented Quick Release (QR™) lever mechanism. By turning the integrated lever forward, the base locks the compatible Leupold QR rings securely into place. Reversing the lever releases the rings, enabling rapid, tool-free detachment of the optic. This mechanical system is engineered to demanding tolerances, ensuring an exceptional return-to-zero accuracy within +/- ¼ MOA of the original point of impact when reattaching the scope. The one-piece design spans the rifle receiver, providing superior structural rigidity and precise ring alignment compared to multi-piece mounting systems. Key Features of the Leupold 51247 Base:

• Patented Quick Release System: Lever-operated mechanism allows for rapid mounting and dismounting of the rifle scope without tools.
• Return-to-Zero Capability: Precision machining guarantees an alignment deviation of no more than +/- ¼ MOA upon reattachment.
• One-Piece Rigidity: Single-piece construction spans the receiver, offering greater structural stiffness and maintaining alignment under heavy recoil.
• Durable Construction: Machined from solid steel and finished in a non-reflective Matte Black coating to resist wear and elements.
• Secure Mounting: Packaged with standard 6-48 mounting screws for direct and secure attachment to the receiver.

Who It's For:

This mounting system is designed for Australian hunters and sport shooters who require a versatile and reliable optics setup on short-action Remington 700 platforms. It is highly suited for backcountry hunters traversing demanding environments, such as the Victorian Alps or dense bushland, where removing a high-magnification scope prevents damage during transit in a vehicle or backpack. It also serves shooters who frequently transition between different optical systems, such as swapping from a standard daylight rifle scope to a thermal or night-vision device on the same rifle without the need to re-zero at the range.
