Leupold 171356 BackCountry Cross-Slot Base Sauer 202 20 MOA

The Leupold 171356 BackCountry Cross-Slot Base delivers precision mounting for Sauer 202 rifles with a built-in 20 MOA cant to maximize long-range capability. This matte black aluminum base provides the rock-solid foundation needed for consistent shot placement at extended distances. The integrated 20 MOA forward slope compensates for bullet drop, extending effective range without requiring excessive scope adjustment.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard zero-cant bases, this BackCountry mount incorporates 20 minutes of angle to optimize trajectory for long-range shooting. The cross-slot design accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, providing versatility for various optic mounting systems. Precision machining ensures perfect alignment with the Sauer 202's receiver, eliminating potential accuracy issues from mismatched components. The matte black finish reduces glare while resisting corrosion in harsh field conditions.

Key Features
