Leupold BackCountry 2-Pc Ring & Base Set Weatherby Mark V LT 30mm Med

Description

Leupold's BackCountry ringmount takes a smart approach to scope mounting. Instead of a separate base and ring that bolt together, the ring and base are machined as one integral unit. That means one less connection point to fuss with, fewer screws to track, and a cleaner, lower-profile setup on your rifle. For a mountain rig where weight and reliability matter, that simplicity pays off.

Built for the Weatherby Mark V LT

This particular set is cut to drop right onto a Weatherby Mark V (6 Lug) receiver, which includes the Mark V LT. The two-piece design attaches directly to the receiver with no middleman rail required, and it holds any riflescope with a 30mm maintube. The medium ring height sits the scope roughly .97 inches off the base, which works well with the smaller objectives you typically see on a lightweight hunting setup. If you run a larger objective bell, step up to the high rings instead.

7075-T6 Aluminum Where It Counts

Every mount in the BackCountry line is machined from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the same alloy used in high-stress aerospace parts. It keeps the whole system light without giving up strength, so it shrugs off the kind of magnum recoil a Weatherby is known for. Hunters who put these to work in rough country tend to trust them, and they've earned a solid reputation as a go-to backcountry mounting solution.

Getting the Mount Dialed In

Installation is about as simple as rifle mounts get. Snug the base and receiver screws to 22 in-lbs and the ring top screws to 28 in-lbs, and you're set. A little torque wrench goes a long way toward keeping your scope locked in and your zero holding over the long haul. The whole package weighs in right around 2.9 ounces, so you're adding real strength without weighing down a rifle you likely bought to carry light.
