The Leupold Open Range Rimfire 1" Medium rings are professional-grade mounts designed to replace the unreliable factory hardware often found on .22 rifles and airguns. The biggest frustration for rimfire shooters is "scope walk"—where the optic slowly slides along the smooth dovetail rail due to vibration. These rings solve that by utilizing precision-milled recoil lugs to create a physical mechanical lock, ensuring your 1-inch scope stays exactly where you zeroed it.
Cheap rings tend to deform under pressure, losing their "bite" on the rail over time. Leupold uses 6061-T6 aluminum that maintains its structural integrity even at a consistent 28 in-lb torque. By combining this high-strength alloy with integrated recoil lugs, the system stops relying on simple friction and instead creates a fixed indexing point against the rail. The result is a rock-solid mount that won't budge, no matter how many rounds you put downrange.
Weighing in at just 2.6 ounces, these rings offer a lightweight, low-profile solution that won't off-balance your rifle. The 0.78-inch Medium height is the sweet spot for shooters who want their optic mounted close to the bore for a natural, comfortable cheek weld. Whether you're in the squirrel woods or at a weekend match, the dual compatibility for 11mm and 3/8" rails ensures a perfect, "no-tap" fit on almost any rimfire platform.
Key Features
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction | High yield strength ensures the rings maintain consistent clamping force and structural geometry under torque without deformation.
- Integrated Recoil Lugs | Precision mechanical indexing against the rail eliminates "scope walk" and prevents optic movement during repetitive recoil cycles.
- Dual Dovetail Compatibility | Native support for both 11mm and 3/8-inch rails provides a centered clamping interface and proper alignment without the need for adapters.
