Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Tikka T3/T3x 1-pc Matte Base LU171348

There’s a certain silence in the high country that only a hunter understands—the pause before the shot, the stillness that sharpens every sense. You’ve pushed through miles of rugged terrain, packed light, and chosen every piece of your gear with purpose. When that moment of truth arrives, the one connection you can’t afford to question is between your rifle and your optic. That’s where the Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Tikka T3/T3x 1-pc Matte Base earns its name.

Built for those who venture beyond the beaten path, this base is more than a mounting platform—it’s peace of mind machined from precision-grade aluminum. Leupold engineered it for the shooter who values confidence under pressure and demands performance without compromise. Whether you’re lining up a long-range shot at first light or tracking a target across uneven ground, the BackCountry Cross-Slot delivers absolute stability and repeatable accuracy with every pull of the trigger.

The one-piece design keeps things simple and solid, cutting unnecessary weight without sacrificing durability. Made from 7075-T6 aluminum—the same alloy trusted in aerospace applications—it’s as tough as steel but far lighter, preserving the balance and handling of your rifle. The matte black finish blends seamlessly with most rifle setups while protecting against the elements and glare. With its dual compatibility for both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, this base adapts easily to your preferred optic system, offering versatility without compromise.

Every detail has been refined for real-world performance. The base is engineered specifically for Tikka T3 and T3x rifles, ensuring a perfect fit and a consistent return to zero. The 0 MOA configuration provides a level mounting surface for most hunting and tactical applications, while precise tolerances and recommended torque values (22 in-lbs) help deliver the repeatable accuracy Leupold is known for. Weighing in at just 2.45 ounces and stretching 6.7 inches long, it offers exceptional strength-to-weight efficiency, making it the choice of serious hunters and precision shooters alike.

When you install a Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Base, you’re not just mounting a scope—you’re investing in decades of craftsmanship and backed by the Leupold Lifetime Guarantee. It’s designed to perform in the toughest environments, built in the USA, and trusted by those who refuse to settle for second best.
