We study the list replicability number in the realizable PAC learning framework and prove that every concept class $H$ over a countable domain with Littlestone dimension $d$ and dual VC dimension $v^*$ satisfies \[ \mathrm{LR}(H)\leq 2^{O(d\min\{\log d,v^*\})}. \] This matches the worst-case lower bound of $2^{Ω(d)}$ up to a logarithmic factor in the exponent and exponentially improves the previous best upper bound $\mathrm{LR}(H)\le 2^{2^{O(d)}}$ of Bun, Livni, and Moran [FOCS 2020]. Unlike earlier bounds of $2^{O_ε(d^2)}$ for fixed accuracy $ε>0$ implied by the work of Ghazi, Golowich, Kumar, and Manurangsi [STOC 2021] and Lyu [STOC 2026], our bound is independent of $ε$. The $2^{O(d\log d)}$ bound follows from a new inductive framework for bounding list replicability that builds on the recent notion of irreducibility from differentially private learning. The $2^{O(dv^*)}$ bound follows from a simple globally stable learner that takes the majority vote of multiple empirical risk minimizers, with stability established using tools from stable regularity.
