Leupold BackCountry Rem 700 SA 8-40 Cross-Slot Base LU180949

There’s a moment every backcountry hunter knows—the still air before the shot, the burn in your legs from miles of unforgiving terrain, and the absolute certainty that your gear can’t fail. When you’re deep in the wild with nothing but your skill and equipment to rely on, every piece of your rifle setup matters. That’s the mindset behind the Leupold BackCountry Rem 700 SA 8-40 Cross-Slot Base. It’s built for those who go farther, climb higher, and demand the kind of precision that holds steady when it counts most.

Leupold engineered the BackCountry Cross-Slot Base to deliver maximum strength at minimum weight, because ounces add up when you’re carrying your rifle through rugged country. Precision-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum—the same aerospace-grade alloy used in modern aircraft—this one-piece mount offers unmatched durability while tipping the scales at just 1.75 ounces. It’s corrosion-resistant, impact-tested, and designed to endure punishing environments without adding unnecessary bulk.

When your shot depends on absolute stability, the connection between scope and receiver can’t be left to chance. That’s why this model uses larger 8-40 mounting screws, providing a tighter, more secure fit that won’t shift under recoil. The cross-slot design works seamlessly with both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, giving you the flexibility to configure your optics exactly the way you want. With no built-in cant (0 MOA), it provides a true, level foundation ideal for precision shooting and consistent accuracy across distances.

Every detail reflects Leupold’s dedication to reliability. Machined, assembled, and tested in the USA, the BackCountry Cross-Slot Base is backed by Leupold’s Lifetime Guarantee—ensuring it will perform flawlessly for as long as you do. Whether you’re sighting in at the range or lining up on a trophy elk in fading light, you can trust that this base will keep your optic locked down and your shot on target.

If you build your rifle with purpose, this is the foundation it deserves. Lightweight, rugged, and purpose-built for serious hunters, the Leupold BackCountry Rem 700 SA 8-40 Cross-Slot Base delivers the kind of confidence you can carry into any terrain.
