Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Rail Remington 700 LA | 8-40 Adaptable LU187342

The Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Remington 700 Long Action Rail solves the oldest dilemma in mountain hunting: choosing between a lightweight build and a rock-solid optic mount. Typically, hunters have to settle for heavy steel bases to handle magnum recoil or risk the shifting of standard aluminum. This rail eliminates that compromise by using 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, providing the rugged durability of steel without the unnecessary bulk.

The standout feature is its 8-40 adaptable mounting system. While most rifles come factory-tapped for standard 6-48 screws, heavy-recoiling builds often require an upgrade to beefier 8-40 hardware for better shear resistance. This rail is engineered to handle both. You can stick with the standard setup or move to larger fasteners as your build evolves, all without needing to buy a new base.

Machined for a perfect fit on your Remington 700 LA, this one-piece rail weighs just 1.8 ounces but maintains absolute structural rigidity. The cross-slot interface gives you the flexibility to use both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, while the dual-pattern hardware system ensures a secure attachment to the receiver. It is a streamlined, high-performance platform that holds your zero through heavy recoil and rough terrain.
