The Leupold 171901 Dual Dovetail Base Set delivers precision mounting for Ruger American rifles, engineered to maximize scope alignment and maintain zero through thousands of rounds. This two-piece base system transforms the factory-drilled receiver into a rock-solid optics platform.
What Makes This Different
Leupold's dual dovetail design distributes mounting stress across a wider surface area than single-piece bases, reducing flex under heavy recoil. The precision-machined aluminum construction maintains dimensional stability from -40°F to 160°F, while the matte black finish eliminates glare and resists corrosion. Each base undergoes individual quality control testing to ensure perfect fit with Ruger American receiver dimensions.

Field testing confirms this base set maintains zero consistency through temperature extremes and heavy use.
