.366torqueAnyone seen or tried the new Leupold LX mounts?
quote:
New! LX Rapid Relocking Mounting System
The latest in super high-end rapid release/remount systems.
• Incredible zero retention, to retain its point of impact even after being removed and replaced
• Uses a locking lever to cam into place more quickly and securely than ever
• Ideal for dangerous game situations, when the need to use iron sights can come at a moment’s notice
• Exceptional system for traveling, you can remove and replace it quickly
I'm interested but would like more follow up. I've been searching for a quick release system to put on my 416 Rigby when it's completed.
EAW has grabbed my attention, now Leupold.

Mickey1Interesting. Are there any specs on them at the Leupold site?

JohnHuntA few weeks ago a leupold rep said they weren't available.
Production or QC issues... wonder which?

.366torqueThanks JH, it'll be a while for the Rigby anyways. I asked for close to Rigby's bolt rifle.

zimbabweI emailed Leupold tech services about them and they said they are available for only a couple of actions so far. They don't as yet offer any gunsmiths blank bases and they are quite expensive. Don't have the prices and have searched for the copy I had but can't find it anywhere. Seems the base was around $80 and the top half around $110. Looks to be quick and positive though. Appears to be a bridge type base that uses 2 holes on front ring and 1 on rear. I wanted it for a prewar Mdl70 and the tech services said they did NOT have them for older Mdl 70's and you might have problems with the hole spacing on some of magnum Mdl70's.
