The Leupold two-piece standard steel base for Weatherby Mark V right-hand long-action rifles (part no. 51701) gives that platform a dovetail-forward mount with a windage-adjustable rear ring, keeping the scope’s own internal adjustments free for fine sighting. Leupold forges and machines the base from steel and finishes it in matte black to reduce glare in the field. The base sets 0 MOA elevation, and shims can correct gross elevation separately from the scope’s turret. Among Mark V-specific scope bases, this standard configuration is built for that action’s exact receiver geometry.
