Key Features of the Leupold BackCountry 20 MOA One Piece Base

Why Choose the Leupold BackCountry 20 MOA Cross-Slot Base?

The Leupold BackCountry 20 MOA One Piece Base is specifically designed for shooters who need maximum elevation travel for long-range applications. Many modern scopes have limited internal adjustment, and the 20 MOA cant built into this base effectively extends that range, allowing shooters to reach farther distances without running out of elevation. This makes it an ideal choice for long-range hunters, precision rifle competitors, and anyone using high-magnification optics on a Remington 700 Short Action.

The one-piece design eliminates potential alignment issues common with two-piece bases, while the Cross-Slot system offers greater ring compatibility than traditional bases. The use of 8-40 screws provides a more secure and robust attachment to the receiver compared to older 6-48 screw patterns. As part of Leupold’s BackCountry series, this base is engineered to be strong yet lightweight, helping shooters maintain a balanced and maneuverable rifle setup. For Remington 700 Short Action owners looking for a high-quality, American-made scope base optimized for long-range performance, the Leupold BackCountry 20 MOA model delivers outstanding strength, versatility, and precision.
