The Leupold 174499 Standard Base transforms Winchester XPR rifles into precision platforms capable of accepting a wide range of riflescopes. This machined aluminum base system eliminates the guesswork in scope mounting while maintaining the rifle's sleek profile and reliable performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic scope bases that rely on basic steel construction, this Leupold base features precision-machined aluminum with exact tolerances for Winchester XPR receivers. The matte black finish resists corrosion and glare while the two-piece design distributes mounting stress evenly across the receiver. Each base undergoes quality control testing to ensure proper scope ring alignment and zero retention.
Key Features
- Precision-machined aluminum construction for Winchester XPR rifles
- Two-piece design allows for easy bolt removal and maintenance
- Matte black finish prevents glare and resists weather corrosion
- Standard Weaver/Picatinny rail compatibility accepts most scope rings

Field performance depends on solid scope mounting, and this base delivers consistent point-of-impact retention through temperature changes and recoil cycles. Hunters report maintained zero through extended hunting seasons, while target shooters appreciate the repeatable return to zero when scopes are removed and reinstalled. The corrosion-resistant finish withstands harsh weather conditions from desert heat to mountain snow.
