The Leupold 52319 Standard Base provides a rock-solid foundation for mounting riflescopes on Weatherby Mark V LT rifles. This precision-machined aluminum base delivers the reliable connection between rifle and optic that serious shooters demand for consistent accuracy.
What Makes This Different
Leupold's Standard Base system uses a two-piece design that distributes stress evenly across the rifle's receiver, unlike single-piece bases that can create flex points. The 52319 features Leupold's proprietary windage adjustment system built into the rear base, allowing for scope alignment without shimming. Each base undergoes CNC machining to tolerances within 0.0005 inches, ensuring perfect ring alignment shot after shot.
Key Features
- Two-piece aluminum construction distributes mounting stress evenly
- Integrated windage adjustment eliminates need for shims or lapping
- CNC-machined to 0.0005-inch tolerances for perfect ring alignment
- Black gloss anodized finish matches most rifle finishes
- Compatible with all Leupold Standard rings (30mm and 1-inch)
- Drilled and tapped specifically for Weatherby Mark V LT receivers
- Includes all necessary mounting screws and thread locker
Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and heavy recoil. The aluminum construction resists corrosion in wet hunting conditions while maintaining zero retention through thousands of rounds. Competition shooters rely on this base system for match-grade accuracy, while hunters appreciate the secure hold during long-range shots on big game. The integrated windage system saves time at the range by eliminating the trial-and-error process of shimming scopes into alignment.
