Leupold Rifleman 55870 Matte Black 1" High Scope Rings

The Leupold Rifleman 55870 scope rings deliver rock-solid mounting for 1-inch tube optics with their precision-machined aluminum construction. These matte black rings provide the reliable zero retention that serious shooters demand from America's most trusted optics manufacturer.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic mounting solutions, Rifleman rings feature Leupold's proven cross-slot design that distributes clamping forces evenly around the scope tube. The proprietary hex-nut attachment system creates 18 square inches of contact area with Weaver-style bases, compared to just 3 square inches with traditional systems. This expanded contact surface eliminates the ring walking and scope shift that plague inferior mounts under heavy recoil.

Key Features

• Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction for maximum strength-to-weight ratio
• Cross-slot design distributes clamping pressure evenly to prevent scope tube damage
• Hex-nut attachment system provides 6x more surface contact than standard rings
• Matte black anodized finish eliminates glare and resists corrosion
• 1-inch tube diameter accommodates most hunting and tactical scopes
• High profile provides proper eye relief and bolt clearance on most rifles
• Compatible with all Weaver-style and Picatinny rail systems

These rings maintain zero through thousands of rounds across hunting rifles, precision bolt guns, and semi-automatic platforms. The high profile clears most bolt handles and ejection ports while positioning scopes at optimal height for natural cheek weld. Weather-sealed construction handles temperature extremes from arctic hunts to desert competitions without loosening or binding.
