Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot 1-Piece 8-40 Base for Savage 110/Axis Round Receiver – Matte LU180954

The Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot base for the Savage 110/Axis round receiver (1-piece, 8-40, matte) is engineered for those who demand a rugged yet feather-light mounting solution. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, this base delivers serious strength at only around 2.2 ounces — making it one of Leupold’s lightest, most dependable one-piece mounts.

The 1-piece design integrates a recoil lug into the solid base, which locks precisely into the receiver’s cross slots to resist shifting under heavy recoil. All while keeping the profile low and minimizing weight where it matters most. The keeper screw is kept low-profile, helping preserve a clean, slim mounting footprint.

This base accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, giving you flexibility when choosing your scope setup. The included 8-40 steel screws provide a secure fit, and torquing them to specification ensures the base stays rock solid, shot after shot.

Though lightweight, it’s built for serious abuse: the aircraft-grade aluminum is rugged enough to withstand knocks, drops, and the elements without bending or deforming. It’s made in the USA, and Leupold backs it with a lifetime guarantee — you’re covered for as long as you run this rifle.

Whether you’re building a serious long-range hunting rig or want a reliable platform that won’t add unnecessary weight, this mount gives you the dependable connection you need between your scope and firearm.
