The Leupold Mark AR Integral Mounting System 177094 delivers precision optic mounting with zero-shift reliability for AR-platform rifles. This matte black mounting solution eliminates the guesswork of ring alignment while providing repeatable zero retention across thousands of rounds.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional ring and base combinations, the Mark AR IMS features a one-piece aluminum construction that spans multiple rail slots for maximum stability. The integral design reduces potential failure points by 60% compared to multi-piece systems. Precision-machined surfaces ensure consistent clamping force across the entire scope tube, while the quick-detach mechanism allows rapid optic changes without losing zero.
Key Features
- One-piece 6061-T6 aluminum construction for maximum rigidity
- Quick-detach levers with audible engagement confirmation
- 30mm tube diameter compatibility with most tactical scopes
- Picatinny rail mounting spans 4 rail slots for enhanced stability
- Matte black Type III hard anodized finish resists corrosion
- Tool-free installation and removal in under 30 seconds
- Return-to-zero accuracy within 0.25 MOA after remounting
Field testing demonstrates the Mark AR IMS maintains zero retention through temperature extremes from -40°F to 140°F. The system handles recoil forces from standard 5.56 NATO up to .308 Winchester without shift. Competition shooters report consistent point-of-impact across match stages, while tactical users appreciate the quick-change capability for transitioning between day and night optics.
