The Leupold 180295 QRW Cross-Slot Base Set transforms Savage 10/110 rifles into precision platforms ready for serious optics mounting. This matte black base system eliminates the guesswork in scope installation while providing rock-solid repeatability for hunters and precision shooters. Built to Leupold's exacting standards, these bases handle heavy recoiling cartridges without shifting zero.
What Makes This Different
The QRW (Quick Release Weaver) system sets itself apart from standard bases through its cross-slot design that distributes mounting stress across multiple contact points. Unlike basic two-piece bases that rely on limited surface contact, this system creates a continuous mounting platform. The precision-machined surfaces maintain consistent scope height and eliminate the flex common in lighter-weight alternatives.
Key Features
- Cross-slot design provides maximum surface contact for heavy optics
- Matte black finish resists glare and matches most rifle finishes
- Precision-machined aluminum construction weighs just 3.2 ounces
- Compatible with all Weaver and Picatinny ring systems
- Factory-drilled and tapped specifically for Savage 10/110 actions

Field testing demonstrates this base system maintains zero through thousands of rounds across multiple calibers from .243 Winchester to .338 Lapua Magnum. The extended rail length accommodates large objective scopes while providing flexibility for eye relief adjustment. Weather sealing prevents moisture intrusion at mounting points, critical for hunters facing harsh conditions.
