Leupold STD Two-Piece base, Weatherby Mark V RVF

• Two-piece steel construction: The separate front and rear bases keep the mounting system compact while giving a strong interface for hunting and general shooting rifles.
• STD dovetail and windage-adjustable rear design: The front ring pivots into the dovetail and the rear windage screws allow lateral alignment during bore sighting, helping preserve more of the scope’s internal adjustment range.
• Built for Weatherby Mark V RVF actions: This base is made specifically for the Weatherby Mark V RVF, giving a correct fit for a secure scope installation.
• Made from steel: Steel construction adds rigidity and wear resistance, which matters on rifles that see repeated recoil, transport, and regular scope changes.
• Made in the USA: Domestic production supports consistent machining and finish quality for a mounting component that has to hold alignment over time.

About the STD Series

Leupold’s STD Series is the company’s long-established line of steel scope mounting systems for sporting rifles. It sits as a traditional option in the Leupold mount range, aimed at shooters who want a proven design rather than a one-piece tactical rail. The system is widely used on hunting rifles and general-purpose sporting setups where a low-profile installation, dependable fit, and straightforward serviceability matter more than extra bulk.

A defining feature of the series is its front dovetail ring interface combined with a windage-adjustable rear mount. In practice, this lets the installer correct small alignment differences at the base and ring level during bore sighting, which can help keep more of the riflescope’s internal elevation and windage travel available for zeroing or dial use. The STD family also works with different ring heights, so the same mounting pattern can be adapted to different scope sizes and rifle configurations. For shooters who prefer a classic two-piece base arrangement with steel durability and broad rifle compatibility, the STD line remains one of Leupold’s core mounting systems.

About the Leupold STD Two-Piece base, Weatherby Mark V RVF

The Leupold STD Two-Piece base, Weatherby Mark V RVF is a dedicated steel two-piece scope base built for Weatherby Mark V RVF rifles. Its role is simple but important: provide a stable interface between rifle and optic without adding unnecessary size or weight. A two-piece layout leaves the action area more open than a full-length rail, which suits traditional hunting rifles and keeps the installation visually clean.

What makes this model especially useful is the STD mounting geometry. The front ring engages a dovetail seat, while the rear ring position is managed through windage screws. That arrangement gives the installer some lateral correction at the mount itself, which can reduce the need to use up the riflescope’s internal windage adjustment just to achieve a centered zero. Leupold also designed the system so shims can be used for coarse elevation correction, helping preserve more of the scope’s internal elevation range for ballistic dialing where appropriate.

Because the base is made from steel, it is well suited to rifles that are carried in the field, exposed to repeated recoil, or used with optics that may be removed and reinstalled over time. The 4.00 mm BH height contributes to a low, practical mounting profile, and the USA-made construction matches the traditional, durable character expected from a classic hunting optics mounting system.

About Leupold

Leupold & Volpel was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1907 by Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel. Over time, the company developed into a family-owned American maker focused on sport optics for hunting, shooting, and outdoor use. Its range covers riflescopes, red dot sights, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders, and thermal optics, giving the brand a broad presence across both sporting and field applications.

The company later established its headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, where Leupold & Stevens, Inc. remains based. In riflescopes, Leupold is especially known for long-running product families such as the VX series for hunting and the Mark series for tactical use. That background matters for mounting products as well, because the same emphasis on practical field use, mechanical reliability, and compatibility across common rifle platforms carries into the company’s bases and rings.
