Leupold 175922 BackCountry Cross-Slot Base Remington Model 7 Matte Black

The Leupold 175922 BackCountry Cross-Slot Base transforms Remington Model 7 rifles into precision platforms ready for modern optics mounting. This lightweight aluminum base replaces factory iron sights with a versatile cross-slot interface that accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings. Built specifically for the Model 7's receiver dimensions, it maintains the rifle's compact profile while adding tactical flexibility.

What Makes This Different

Unlike universal bases that require modification or compromise fit, the BackCountry Cross-Slot Base machines to exact Remington Model 7 specifications. The cross-slot design eliminates the need to choose between Picatinny or Weaver compatibility - both ring styles lock securely into the precision-cut slots. At just 2.1 ounces, it adds minimal weight while providing maximum mounting versatility for scopes, red dots, and backup iron sights.

Key Features

• Cross-slot design accepts both Picatinny and Weaver ring systems without adapters
• 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard-coat anodizing for corrosion resistance
• Two-piece design with 4.5-inch mounting length for proper scope eye relief
• Torx screws included with blue Loctite pre-applied for secure installation
• Matte black finish reduces glare and matches most rifle finishes
• 0 MOA cant ensures accurate tracking and windage adjustments
• Machined specifically for Remington Model 7 receiver dimensions

Field performance centers on the base's ability to maintain zero through temperature changes and recoil cycles. The aluminum construction handles magnum cartridges without flexing, while the anodized surface resists scratches from scope ring installation and field use. Hunters appreciate the low-profile design that doesn't snag on brush, and the cross-slot versatility allows quick optic changes between hunting seasons and shooting disciplines.
