Leupold 52507 Standard 2-Piece Base for Weatherby Mark V LT
Leupold's forged steel 2-piece standard base for Weatherby Mark V Lightweight rifles. Matte black finish with dovetail front ring and windage-adjustable rear ring for precise scope mounting.
Leupold Standard Steel Base System
Leupold's Standard (STD) steel bases represent one of the most versatile mounting systems available to the rifle shooter. This particular configuration is engineered specifically for the Weatherby Mark V Lightweight and is ideal for standard calibers below .300 Winchester Magnum.
Key Features
- 2-piece construction with forged and machined steel components
- Dovetail front ring that pivots for lateral adjustment during bore sighting
- Windage adjustment screws secure the rear ring and allow fine lateral correction
- Matte black finish for durability and reduced glare
- Fits both right and left-hand actions
Design Philosophy
The STD base system's strength lies in its flexibility. By securing windage adjustment at the base rather than relying solely on scope internals, you preserve your scope's elevation and windage adjustments for precision sight-in and long-range compensation dialing. The system also accepts shims for gross elevation adjustment, keeping your scope's internal adjustments available for bullet drop compensation—a significant advantage for hunters and precision shooters.
Compatibility
Leupold STD rings are available in five different heights and are precision-matched to work seamlessly with both STD 1-piece and 2-piece bases. This modular approach gives you flexibility in your mounting solution.
