The Leupold QRW2 Cross-Slot Ring Mount delivers rapid scope attachment and detachment without sacrificing zero retention. This 1-inch medium height ring mount system transforms scope swapping from a lengthy process into a seconds-long operation while maintaining consistent point of impact.
What Makes This Different
The QRW2 (Quick Release Windage) system incorporates Leupold's proprietary cross-slot design that locks into compatible bases with audible clicks for secure engagement. Unlike traditional ring mounts that require tools and re-zeroing, this system allows shooters to remove and reinstall scopes while preserving zero within 0.1 MOA. The cross-slot interface distributes clamping forces evenly across four contact points rather than relying on friction alone.
Key Features
- Quick-release lever system enables tool-free scope removal and installation
- Cross-slot locking mechanism provides secure engagement with audible confirmation
- 1-inch tube diameter accommodates most hunting and tactical scopes
- Medium height (0.870") clears standard objective lenses up to 50mm
- Matte black anodized finish resists corrosion and eliminates glare
- Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum for strength without excess weight
- Compatible with Leupold Cross-Slot bases and select third-party systems
Field performance centers on the mount's ability to maintain zero through repeated installations. The cross-slot design creates consistent scope positioning that eliminates the guesswork associated with traditional rings. Competition shooters benefit from quick optic changes between stages, while hunters can switch between different magnification ranges for varying conditions. The anodized finish withstands harsh weather conditions and maintains its appearance through extended use.
