The Leupold 120092 Standard Base transforms Ruger American rifles into precision platforms by providing a rock-solid foundation for optics mounting. This aircraft-grade aluminum base eliminates the guesswork in scope installation while maintaining the rifle's sleek profile. Built to Leupold's exacting standards, it delivers the reliability that serious shooters demand.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic bases that rely on basic machining tolerances, the Leupold 120092 features precision-machined surfaces that ensure perfect scope alignment every time. The base undergoes rigorous quality control testing to guarantee consistent ring spacing and height. Each unit maintains tolerances within 0.001 inches, eliminating the scope cant issues common with lower-quality alternatives.
