Leupold 55880 Rifleman 1" High Scope Rings - Matte Black

The Leupold 55880 Rifleman scope rings deliver rock-solid mounting for 1-inch scope tubes with the precision machining and proven reliability that serious shooters demand. These matte black rings position scopes at the optimal height for comfortable shooting positions while maintaining zero through thousands of rounds.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic scope rings that rely on basic clamping pressure, the Rifleman series features Leupold's precision-machined aluminum construction with exact tolerances that eliminate scope movement under recoil. The cross-slot design distributes clamping force evenly around the scope tube, preventing the ring marks and optical misalignment common with cheaper alternatives. Each ring maintains consistent torque specifications of 15-18 inch-pounds for reliable, repeatable mounting.

Key Features

• 1" high profile provides proper eye relief for most rifle configurations
• Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction for maximum durability
• Cross-slot design distributes clamping pressure evenly around scope tube
• Matte black finish reduces glare and resists corrosion
• Compatible with Weaver and Picatinny rail systems
• Torque specifications clearly marked for consistent installation
• Made in USA with Leupold's lifetime guarantee

Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and heavy recoil applications. The aluminum construction maintains zero through rapid temperature changes that cause steel rings to shift, while the precision tolerances prevent the gradual loosening that affects accuracy over time. These rings handle magnum calibers and rapid-fire sequences without compromising scope alignment or introducing point-of-impact shifts.
