Leupold has added to its mounting systems with the introduction of its new Mark 4 IMS mounts for AR-15s (Modern Sporting Rifles), and expanded rifle fits in its QRW, PRW, Dual Dovetail, Quick Release and Standard bases.
Leupold & Stevens has announced its new QRW2 and PRW2 lines of ring mounts, featuring an industrial design that provides modern aesthetics and a precision fit that allows for more contact with the base, resulting in added stability and simple installation.
