When dawn breaks over the ridgeline and the light cuts through the mist, there’s no room for doubt in your gear. Every ounce of preparation, every step through the backcountry, has led to this moment. The target is far off—beyond where most would even attempt a shot. But when your rifle is anchored by the Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Base for the Winchester 70 Short Action, you have the confidence to reach farther, shoot truer, and trust every component between your optic and your rifle. This isn’t just a mounting base—it’s the cornerstone of precision, built for shooters who demand reliability where it matters most.

Engineered from a single block of ultra-durable 7075-T6 aluminum, the Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Base delivers exceptional strength without weighing you down. At just 1.75 ounces, it’s built for those who count every ounce but refuse to compromise performance. The 20 MOA built-in cant gives your optic the extra elevation range needed for long-distance shooting, effectively tilting your scope to maximize turret adjustment. Whether you’re stretching the limits on the range or taking a precision shot in the mountains, this base provides the critical edge needed to perform at your best.

Every element of the BackCountry series is precision-machined in the USA, ensuring a perfect fit on your Winchester 70 SA. Its design accommodates both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, offering versatility for various optics setups. The matte finish minimizes glare in bright conditions, and the corrosion-resistant aluminum stands up to harsh environments. Leupold’s attention to detail extends to torque specs and fitment, providing secure mounting and consistent alignment through recoil, weather, and time.
