Leupold QR 49979 Quick Release Ring Set 1" High Matte Black

The Leupold QR 49979 Quick Release Ring Set delivers precision mounting with instant detach capability for 1-inch scope tubes. This matte black ring set combines Leupold's legendary durability with quick-change functionality for tactical and hunting applications requiring rapid optic swaps.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional fixed rings, the QR system features Leupold's proprietary quick-release mechanism that maintains zero return after repeated mounting cycles. The precision-machined aluminum construction provides superior clamping force distribution compared to standard rings, preventing scope tube damage while ensuring rock-solid lockup. Independent testing shows consistent return-to-zero performance within 0.25 MOA after 50+ mount/dismount cycles.

Key Features

• Quick-release levers enable tool-free scope removal in under 10 seconds
• High-profile design provides 0.87" scope centerline height above receiver
• Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction with matte black anodizing
• Four-screw cap design distributes clamping pressure evenly around scope tube
• Compatible with Weaver and Picatinny rail systems
• Accommodates 1-inch diameter scope tubes with proper eye relief clearance
• Includes all mounting hardware and thread-locking compound

Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes from -40°F to 160°F without thermal expansion issues affecting zero retention. The quick-release mechanism functions reliably in dusty, wet conditions typical of hunting and tactical environments. Competition shooters appreciate the ability to swap between different magnification scopes for varying stages while maintaining precise point of impact.
