Leupold Dual Dovetail Rings 35mm High Matte Black | 180161

Description

When you're running a big magnum or a setup that kicks like a mule, the connection between your scope and rifle matters more than anything else. Leupold's Dual Dovetail system is built exactly for that. These high rings fit any 35mm maintube scope and lock into Leupold Dual Dovetail bases with a twist-and-lock action that creates one of the most rigid mounting platforms the company makes. No sloppy fit, no slow drift off zero after a long range session.

What Makes the Dual Dovetail Design Hold

The magic here is the dovetail cut on both the front and rear of the mount. Most ring systems only lock in one spot, but the DD setup grabs at two points, which spreads the stress and gives you a rock-solid foundation that shrugs off recoil. That same dovetail geometry lets you make precise windage adjustments during sight-in, so you start your scope's internal travel closer to center. Machined from solid steel rather than aluminum, these rings carry the kind of strength that standard to magnum calibers demand.

Fitting the 35mm High Matte Rings to Your Rifle

These are the high-profile version, sitting at roughly 0.9 inches, which gives you clearance for larger objective bells and 35mm-tube scopes that need a little room to breathe. The matte black finish cuts glare in the field and blends in nicely with most hunting and precision rigs. Leupold recommends torquing the top ring screws to about 28 in-lbs, so a good torque wrench is worth having on the bench when you set them up.

Keep in mind these rings are designed to pair with Leupold Dual Dovetail bases, so you'll want the matching base for your action to complete the system. Once they're on, you've got a setup that's been trusted by hunters and long-range folks for decades. Made in the USA and backed by Leupold's reputation for gear that holds up in rough country, these are a dependable pick for anyone running a serious optic on a hard-hitting rifle.
