Further Product Details
Leupold QR 26mm High Ext. Rings are an excellent solution for mounting optics on hunting rifles, sporting rifles, and precision platforms that require both a high mount and extended forward positioning. The quick-release design is particularly useful for those who need to swap optics in the field or transport rifles with scopes removed, as it allows for fast, tool-free detachment and reinstallation while preserving point-of-impact. These rings are supplied as a matched pair and are compatible exclusively with Leupold QR bases, ensuring a precise and stable fit.
Installation is straightforward, but it is recommended to follow manufacturer guidelines for torque settings and periodic inspection to maintain optimal performance. The steel construction resists wear and environmental factors, requiring only minimal maintenance—typically a light cleaning and occasional lubrication of moving parts. As with all Leupold mounting hardware, these rings are covered by Leupold’s Full Lifetime Guarantee, offering assurance of quality and support. Customers in South Africa should ensure compliance with local firearm regulations regarding scope and accessory mounting. These rings provide a reliable, repeatable mounting platform for demanding shooting applications.
