Mounting Systems

 

 

 

Why invest in a Leupold riflescope and then attach it to your rifle with a substandard mount? Leupold’s mounting systems are as rugged and reliable as the Leupold riflescopes they’re intended to secure. No matter which mount you choose, you can count on it for rock-solid dependability and tack-driving repeatable accuracy.

Leupold was first
with Torx®

We were the first U.S. mount maker to offer the Torx® drive system. Unlike old-fashioned hex-head screws, the deep-engaging lobe design won’t strip screw heads or distort drivers. The Torx system makes more efficient use of your driving force so you can tighten screws far more securely, which translates into increased confidence..

Detachable Mounting Systems

and return to zero without fail?

1) Switch quickly to open sights

2) Remove your scope to carry your rifle in a scabbard
on horseback hunting trips

3) Switch from small to large objective scopes and
vice versa, depending on the light conditions

4) Have one scope for big game, one for varmints

5) Remove your scope during travel or storage

6) Better access to the loading port during cleaning

7) Switch to a backup scope in case of damage in the field

8) Use a higher magnification scope for load development
and precise bench work, and a lower magnification scope for hunting

 

The QR™ mount promises repeatable accuracy:

QR Mounts• Remove and reattach a scope using our QR™ mount
and still return to within half an inch of the original point-of-impact on the target

• Turn the lever forward and an eccentric on the lever shaft engages the base of the ring, pulling it down
and forward on the base, locking it solidly into its “zero” position

• The key is super-close machining tolerances at the
heart of the patented lever mechanism

• The strength of machined steel construction

• Proven in extensive testing
