The Leupold Standard Two-Piece Base for the Weatherby Mark V (part no. 51703) anchors optics to a rifle famous for punishing lesser hardware. Leupold machines the pair from steel with a reversible front dovetail, whose pivoting front ring assists coarse lateral alignment during initial setup, while rear windage screws square the scope before internal adjustments begin. The matte black finish keeps things subdued in the field. Among Mark V-pattern scope bases, this reversible-front steel set is built for magnum recoil.

Key Specifications

• The base fits Weatherby Mark V receivers, matched to the magnum action’s footprint.

• The front dovetail is reversible, adding flexibility in ring placement over the action.
• The front ring pivots for lateral alignment, easing initial bore-sighting before final torque.

• The finish is matte black, cutting glare on stalks and stands.
• Rings are not included, so pair with Leupold Standard rings sized to your optic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the reversible front (RVF) design do? It lets the front dovetail seat be flipped to adjust ring spacing, useful for matching different scope lengths and mounting geometries.

Will this hold up to magnum recoil? Steel construction and the rotary-style dovetail front are exactly why this pattern has ridden Weatherby magnums for generations.
