Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Base for Weatherby Mark V/Vanguard LA - Matte LU171354

Imagine standing on a wind-swept ridge, dawn breaking over the backcountry. Every ounce of gear you’ve carried has a purpose—each piece chosen for reliability when the margin for error disappears. After hours of climbing and waiting, your shot presents itself. In that crucial moment, you shouldn’t be second-guessing your scope mount. That’s exactly why the Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Base for Weatherby Mark V/Vanguard LA Matte exists. Built for hunters who demand absolute confidence in their equipment, it’s engineered to deliver unwavering performance when it matters most.

Leupold’s legacy of precision optics and battlefield-tested toughness comes together in this lightweight, rock-solid mount. The BackCountry Cross-Slot Base is precision-milled from a single, solid block of 7075-T6 aluminum—the same high-strength alloy trusted in aerospace engineering. The result is a base that weighs just 1.8 ounces yet stands up to the harshest recoil and environmental punishment. Every curve, every cut, and every edge is designed to maintain your zero through rough terrain, shifting weather, and repeated use.

This mount is purpose-built for shooters running Weatherby Mark V (9-Lug) and Vanguard Long Action rifles who won’t settle for compromise. Its one-piece construction offers a super-rigid platform that enhances alignment and consistency, while the cross-slot design accommodates both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings. Whether you’re building a lightweight mountain rifle or fine-tuning your backcountry setup, this base gives you the flexibility to use your preferred optic system without limitation.

Beyond strength and precision, the Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Base delivers the kind of finish and detail that hunters appreciate in the field. Its matte black coating not only complements your rifle’s profile but also resists glare, corrosion, and wear. Every mount is proudly designed, machined, and assembled in Leupold’s Oregon facility, ensuring uncompromising American craftsmanship. Backed by Leupold’s Lifetime Guarantee, this mount is made to perform for generations—it’s not just equipment, it’s an assurance that your shot will always be true.
