Leupold QR 49974 Quick Release Scope Rings 1" Medium Matte Black

The Leupold QR 49974 Quick Release scope rings deliver secure optic mounting with rapid detachment capability for tactical and hunting applications. These medium-height rings accommodate 1-inch scope tubes while providing consistent return-to-zero performance after repeated mounting cycles.

What Makes This Different

Leupold's Quick Release system uses a cam-actuated lever mechanism that eliminates the need for tools during scope removal or installation. The precision-machined aluminum construction maintains zero repeatability within 0.25 MOA across multiple mount/dismount cycles. Unlike standard ring systems that require screwdriver adjustment, the QR design enables field-ready scope swapping in under 30 seconds.

Key Features

• Quick-release cam levers for tool-free scope mounting and removal
• Medium height profile clears standard objective lenses up to 44mm
• Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction with matte black finish
• Fits standard Weaver and Picatinny rail systems
• Cross-bolt design prevents scope rotation under recoil
• Steel hardware with corrosion-resistant coating
• Return-to-zero accuracy within 0.25 MOA specification

Field performance testing demonstrates consistent point-of-impact retention across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F. The cam-lever system maintains 65 inch-pounds of clamping force while allowing smooth operation with gloved hands. Competition shooters benefit from the ability to quickly switch between match and practice optics, while hunters can remove scopes for compact transport without losing zero.
