Unveiled at SHOT Show, the Scalarworks LEAP/Scope is their first foray into scope mounts. It weighs 5.48 oz.
First off, the rings have a very tight tolerance due to their hinged, captured design. It uses two oversized screw which are slip fit into the base. These don’t just cinch the ring but also act as part of the base. The rigs offer a smooth design, with no gaps to worry about.
The front is a tubular design which resists twisting while the rear is a wide, more traditional I-beam design. Additionally, the bridge is exceptionally wide for lateral impact resistance.The LEAP/Scope also incorporates Scalar’s popular Quantum QD System.
One thing they didn’t show at SHOT was their patent pending Leveling Screw. When you mount the optic, just don’t tighten all of the screws on the mount. It’s a one-handed adjustment thanks to the captured screw. Once it’s where you want it, you can torque down the rest of the mounting screws.
