The Leupold 171479 Rifleman scope rings deliver rock-solid optic mounting for hunters and shooters who demand precision without breaking the budget. These 30mm high rings feature Leupold's proven design that has secured optics on rifles across America for decades.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic scope rings that rely on basic clamping pressure, the Rifleman series incorporates Leupold's proprietary ring design with precision-machined surfaces that distribute stress evenly across the scope tube. The high-profile configuration provides 0.281 inches of clearance between the scope and rifle, accommodating larger objective lenses and bolt handles. Each ring undergoes CNC machining to maintain consistent tolerances within 0.001 inches, ensuring proper scope alignment and preventing tube damage during installation.
Key Features
- 30mm tube diameter accommodates modern tactical and hunting scopes
- High profile design provides 0.281" scope-to-rifle clearance
- Matte black finish eliminates glare and resists corrosion
- Precision CNC-machined aluminum construction for consistent clamping
- Cross-slot design prevents scope rotation under heavy recoil
- Standard Weaver/Picatinny rail compatibility
- Includes all necessary mounting hardware and thread locker
Field testing demonstrates these rings maintain zero through thousands of rounds across calibers from .223 Remington to .300 Winchester Magnum. The aluminum construction withstands temperature extremes from -40°F to 160°F without loosening or shifting. Competition shooters rely on the Rifleman series for consistent point of impact, while hunters appreciate the corrosion-resistant finish that performs in wet conditions. The cross-slot design prevents scope rotation even under the punishment of heavy magnum cartridges and muzzle brakes.
