The Leupold 54798 Dual Dovetail Base transforms Thompson/Center Encore and Omega firearms into precision platforms ready for serious optics. This silver-finished mount provides the rock-solid foundation needed for consistent accuracy across multiple shooting disciplines. Built to Leupold's exacting standards, this base eliminates the guesswork in scope mounting while maintaining the sleek profile these popular single-shot rifles deserve.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic aftermarket bases, the Leupold 54798 features precision-machined dovetail slots that maintain exact parallel alignment shot after shot. The dual dovetail design distributes mounting stress evenly across both rings, reducing scope cant and improving long-term zero retention. While standard bases often require lapping or shimming, this base's manufacturing tolerances ensure proper ring alignment straight from the package.
Key Features
- Dual 11mm dovetail grooves machined to precise tolerances
- Silver anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion and wear
- Direct bolt-on installation for Thompson/Center Encore and Omega actions
- Low-profile design maintains clean rifle lines
- Compatible with standard dovetail scope rings
- Precision-drilled and tapped mounting holes
- Backed by Leupold's lifetime warranty
Field performance centers on the base's ability to maintain zero through temperature changes, recoil cycles, and extended hunting seasons. The aluminum construction expands and contracts at nearly the same rate as the rifle's receiver, minimizing stress points that cause point-of-impact shifts. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent return-to-zero when switching between different scopes, while hunters rely on the base's ability to hold tight groups across varying weather conditions.
