Rugged, Ultra-Lightweight Precision for the Alpine Hunter

When you are pushing deep into the backcountry, every single gram you carry matters, but sacrificing the reliability of your optic mounting system is a guaranteed way to ruin a hunt. The Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Base is engineered specifically for hunters who demand a rock-solid link between their rifle and scope, without the heavy bulk of traditional steel mounts.

To achieve this incredible strength-to-weight ratio, the BackCountry base is precision-machined from a single block of 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminium. This premium alloy is renowned for its superior toughness, allowing the base to easily withstand the punishing recoil of heavy magnum calibres while weighing in at less than two ounces. Finished in a highly durable, non-reflective matte black coating, it will seamlessly integrate with your rifle's aesthetic while reducing glare in the field.

Versatility is central to the BackCountry design. The universal cross-slot configuration securely accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style scope rings, giving you complete freedom to choose your preferred ring setup. Whether you are stalking red stags in the dense bush with a standard 0 MOA base, or dialling for long-range tahr across the valley with a 20 MOA option, this base ensures your zero remains locked. Proudly made in the USA and backed by Leupold's legendary Lifetime Guarantee, the BackCountry base is a true set-and-forget upgrade for your hunting rifle, available for a wide range of popular rifle actions including Remington 700, Browning A-Bolt, Tikka T3/T3x, and Winchester XPR.

• 7075-T6 Aluminium Construction: Machined from premium aircraft-grade aluminium, offering the sheer strength and recoil resistance of steel at a fraction of the overall weight.

• Universal Ring Compatibility: The cross-slot design flawlessly accommodates both Picatinny-style and Weaver-style mounting rings.

• Adaptable Hardware: Many models (such as the Remington 700 adaptable versions) come complete with two sets of high-grade mounting screws (both 8-40 and 6-48) to fit standard or over-bored receivers.

• Low-Profile Design: Integrates cleanly with your receiver, preventing snagging on brush or clothing while slung across your shoulder.

• 0 MOA and 20 MOA Options: Available in a standard flat configuration for typical hunting ranges, or a 20 MOA cant to maximise your scope's internal elevation adjustment for long-range precision.

• Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee: Built in the USA to survive a lifetime of heavy abuse, fully backed by Leupold's industry-leading warranty.
