Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Ruger American SA 20 MOA Scope Base LU171359

In the stillness of the backcountry, where every ounce matters and every decision counts, your gear becomes an extension of your instincts. You’ve trusted your Ruger American Short Action to get you through miles of rugged wilderness and unpredictable weather—now it’s time to give your rifle the foundation it deserves. The Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Ruger American SA 20 MOA Scope Base is built for shooters who demand absolute confidence in every shot, no matter the distance or conditions.

This isn’t just a mount—it’s the cornerstone of precision. Crafted from 7075-T6 aluminum, one of the strongest alloys available, it delivers a perfect balance of strength and lightweight performance. Weighing in at only 1.75 ounces, it keeps your setup lean without sacrificing the solid dependability Leupold is known for. Whether you’re scaling ridgelines or stalking game through open country, this Cross-Slot Base ensures your optics stay locked, aligned, and ready when the moment of truth arrives.

Designed with an integrated 20 MOA slope, the BackCountry Cross-Slot Base gives your scope extra elevation adjustment—ideal for long-range hunters and precision shooters pushing beyond standard distances. That added cant translates to extended effective range and better control over your shot placement when the target’s sitting far downrange. Every detail is machined with tight tolerances, ensuring a rock-solid interface between rifle and optic.

When it comes to reliability, nothing matters more than the connection between your firearm and your scope. This one-piece design provides maximum surface contact and perfect alignment for your rings, eliminating the weak points common in multi-piece mounts. It accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, giving you full flexibility when setting up your preferred optic system. Made in the USA and backed by Leupold’s legendary lifetime guarantee, this base is built to outlast seasons, hunts, and generations.

Built for your rifle, your hunt, and your confidence, the Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Base is trusted by those who refuse to settle for second best. When every shot could define your day—or your trophy—trust the base that’s engineered to perform when it matters most.
