Leupold Rifleman G2 1" See-Thru High 1.44" Elevation Black 2-Piece Scope Rings | Model 185537
The Leupold Rifleman G2 1" See-Thru High 1.44" Elevation Black 2-Piece Scope Rings (Model 185537) are specially designed scope rings that combine the strength and reliability of the Rifleman G2 series with the added versatility of a see-through design. These rings allow shooters to use their rifle’s iron sights even when a 1-inch optic is mounted, providing a valuable backup sighting system. With a high elevation of 1.44 inches, these rings offer generous clearance for larger objective lenses while maintaining a secure and repeatable mounting platform. The two-piece configuration provides installation flexibility, and the matte black finish delivers a clean, professional appearance. Whether you’re building a tactical rifle, a hunting rifle, or a general-purpose firearm where backup sights are important, these Gen 2 Rifleman see-thru rings deliver the performance and value serious shooters expect from Leupold.
Improved Gen 2 Design and Construction
The Rifleman G2 series represents a significant upgrade over previous Rifleman rings. Leupold has refined machining tolerances, improved the clamping surface, and enhanced overall strength in the Gen 2 models. These improvements result in better scope retention, reduced chance of movement under recoil, and more consistent long-term performance. Manufactured from high-strength steel with a durable matte black finish, these rings resist corrosion and reduce glare in the field, making them well-suited for both hunting and tactical applications.
See-Thru Design for Backup Iron Sights
One of the standout features of these rings is the see-through design. The open-bottom construction allows the shooter to look through the rings and use the rifle’s factory iron sights when the optic is not in use or if the scope fails. This feature is especially valuable for tactical operators, hunters in remote areas, and anyone who wants a reliable backup sighting system without having to remove their optic. The see-thru design adds versatility without sacrificing the strength needed to securely hold a 1-inch scope.
High 1.44" Elevation
These rings feature a high mounting height of 1.44 inches from the base to the center of the ring. This tall elevation provides excellent clearance for scopes with large objective lenses and allows for comfortable use of backup iron sights beneath the optic. The high height is particularly beneficial for shooters using rifles with raised rails, such as many AR-platform firearms, or those who prefer a higher cheek weld position. It also accommodates taller front and rear sights commonly found on tactical and precision rifles.
Two-Piece Design for Easy Installation
The two-piece configuration allows for easier installation and removal compared to one-piece rings. This design gives shooters more flexibility when mounting scopes, especially on rifles with limited rail space or when using different ring spacing. Each ring clamps independently, allowing for precise alignment and secure attachment to Picatinny or Weaver-style rails.
