Leupold BackCountry 30mm Scope Rings High Weatherby Mark V 6-Lug

The Leupold BackCountry 177160 scope rings deliver precision mounting for 30mm optics on Weatherby Mark V 6-lug actions. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with a black anodized finish, these high-profile rings provide the clearance needed for larger objective lenses while maintaining zero under heavy recoil.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard steel rings that add unnecessary weight, the BackCountry series uses aerospace-grade aluminum construction that reduces overall rifle weight by up to 40% compared to traditional steel mounts. The proprietary cross-slot design distributes clamping force evenly around the scope tube, preventing point loading that can damage expensive optics. Each ring undergoes precision CNC machining to maintain concentricity within 0.002 inches.

Key Features

• 7075-T6 aluminum construction for maximum strength-to-weight ratio
• 30mm tube diameter compatibility with high-profile clearance
• Weatherby Mark V 6-lug action specific fitment
• Cross-slot design prevents scope tube damage during installation
• Black anodized finish resists corrosion and wear
• Precision-machined surfaces ensure consistent scope alignment
• Lightweight design reduces overall rifle weight

Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and heavy recoil conditions. The aluminum construction handles magnum cartridges without loosening or shifting, while the anodized surface maintains its appearance through seasons of hunting and range use. Professional gunsmiths recognize the BackCountry series for reliable return-to-zero performance after scope removal and reinstallation.
