The Leupold 51732 Standard Base provides a rock-solid mounting platform for riflescopes on Remington 700 actions. This precision-machined base eliminates the guesswork in scope mounting while maintaining the low profile that tactical and hunting applications demand.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic bases that require fitting and adjustment, the Leupold Standard Base is manufactured to exact tolerances for drop-in installation on Remington 700 receivers. The matte black finish resists glare and corrosion while blending seamlessly with modern rifle aesthetics. Each base undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure consistent ring alignment and zero retention through thousands of rounds.
Key Features
- Precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum for maximum strength-to-weight ratio
- Matte black hard-anodized finish resists scratches, corrosion, and UV fading
- Factory-engineered fit for Remington 700 short and long action receivers
- Standard Weaver-style rail accepts all compatible rings and mounting systems
- Low-profile design maintains proper cheek weld and sight picture
- Integrated recoil lugs distribute stress evenly across receiver surface
- Pre-drilled and tapped holes align perfectly with factory receiver holes
Field performance centers on consistent point of impact maintenance across temperature extremes and heavy recoil scenarios. Competition shooters rely on the base's dimensional stability for match-grade accuracy, while hunters appreciate the corrosion resistance during extended backcountry expeditions. The hard-anodized surface withstands impacts from transport cases and field handling without compromising structural integrity.
