The Leupold 176712 BackCountry Cross-Slot Base transforms long-range shooting capabilities on the Kimber 84L by providing a built-in 20 MOA cant for extended range engagement. This precision-machined base eliminates the guesswork in scope mounting while maximizing elevation adjustment range for shots beyond 600 yards.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard flat bases that limit long-range potential, this BackCountry base incorporates a 20 MOA forward cant that effectively adds 5.8 inches of elevation adjustment at 1000 yards. The cross-slot design accepts both Weaver and Picatinny rings, providing versatility in optic mounting options. CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, it maintains zero under heavy recoil while weighing just 2.1 ounces.
Key Features
- 20 MOA built-in cant extends effective range by 200+ yards
- Cross-slot compatibility accepts Weaver and Picatinny ring systems
- CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction for dimensional stability
- Matte black Type III hard anodized finish resists corrosion and glare
- Precision-fit specifically for Kimber 84L action geometry
- Four mounting screws included with thread-locking compound pre-applied
- Low-profile design maintains rifle balance and handling characteristics
Field performance centers on consistent point of impact retention across temperature extremes and heavy use. The 20 MOA cant proves particularly valuable for competitive precision rifle shooting and long-range hunting applications where maximum scope adjustment range determines success. Weather-sealed construction handles moisture and temperature cycling without affecting zero retention.
