The Leupold Dual Dovetail two-piece base for Ruger American rifles (part no. 171901) is engineered to withstand higher-recoil chamberings while maintaining a repeatable sight-in on that popular action. Leupold machines the base from steel with a matte black finish, and the reversible rear section allows fine adjustment of optic position without changing the front interface. The two-piece layout gives independent front and rear placement for easier alignment. Among Ruger American-specific scope bases, this Dual Dovetail configuration is built for durability under recoil.
