The Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Base transforms your Browning A-Bolt into a precision long-range platform with its integrated 20 MOA cant. This machined aluminum base extends effective shooting range by compensating for bullet drop at extended distances. Built to Leupold's exacting standards, it provides the rock-solid foundation serious hunters and precision shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard flat bases, this cross-slot design incorporates a built-in 20 MOA forward cant that maximizes your scope's elevation adjustment range. The precision-machined slots accept both Weaver and Picatinny rings, offering versatility that basic dovetail bases cannot match. Each base undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure perfect alignment and repeatable zero retention across thousands of rounds.
Key Features
- Integrated 20 MOA cant extends long-range capability without scope adjustment limitations
- Cross-slot design accepts both Weaver-style and Picatinny rings for maximum compatibility
- CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for lightweight strength and corrosion resistance
- Matte black hard-anodized finish eliminates glare and resists wear
- Precision-fitted specifically for Browning A-Bolt action spacing and dimensions
- Low-profile design maintains clean rifle lines while adding functionality
- Torx screws included with thread-locking compound pre-applied
Field performance centers on the base's ability to maintain zero under recoil and environmental stress. The 20 MOA cant proves particularly valuable for hunters taking shots beyond 400 yards, where standard bases limit scope adjustment. Competition shooters benefit from the additional elevation range when engaging targets at varying distances. The cross-slot configuration accommodates different ring heights and styles, allowing optimal scope positioning for proper eye relief and cheek weld.
