Leupold 50023 Standard Scope Base Matte Black Winchester 70

The Leupold 50023 Standard Base provides a rock-solid mounting platform for riflescopes on Winchester Model 70 rifles. This precision-machined base eliminates the guesswork in scope mounting while maintaining the rifle's classic profile.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic bases that require extensive fitting, the Leupold 50023 drops directly onto Winchester 70 actions with factory-perfect tolerances. The two-piece design distributes mounting stress evenly across the receiver, preventing scope creep under heavy recoil. Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, this base weighs 40% less than comparable steel alternatives while maintaining superior strength.

Key Features

• Precision-machined for Winchester Model 70 short and long actions
• Two-piece design with 3.5-inch ring spacing centers
• Aircraft-grade aluminum construction with matte black finish
• Factory-drilled and tapped mounting holes eliminate gunsmithing
• Low-profile design maintains rifle's original sight line

• Corrosion-resistant Type III hard anodizing

Field testing demonstrates this base maintains zero through hundreds of rounds of magnum cartridges. The low-profile design works equally well for hunting applications where quick target acquisition matters and precision shooting where repeatability is critical. The matte finish eliminates glare while resisting scratches from transport and field use.
