Leupold 52317 Standard Scope Base Matte Black Savage 10

The Leupold 52317 Standard Base provides a rock-solid mounting platform specifically engineered for Savage 10 rifles. This precision-machined base creates the essential foundation for consistent scope performance, eliminating the flex and movement that compromises accuracy in factory setups. Built to Leupold's exacting standards, it transforms any Savage 10 into a reliable precision platform.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic universal bases, the Leupold 52317 features rifle-specific machining that matches the exact contours and tolerances of Savage 10 receivers. The base undergoes precision CNC manufacturing to ensure perfect alignment between mounting surfaces. Each unit maintains consistent 20 MOA of built-in elevation adjustment, extending effective range compared to standard zero-cant bases. The matte black finish resists glare while providing superior corrosion protection.

Key Features

• Savage 10 specific fitment eliminates receiver gaps and mounting inconsistencies
• Precision-machined aluminum construction weighs just 2.1 ounces
• Matte black hard-anodized finish prevents reflection and corrosion
• Standard Weaver-style rail accepts all compatible scope rings
• Four mounting screws included with thread-locking compound pre-applied
• 20 MOA elevation built into base design extends long-range capability
• Recoil lugs positioned for maximum stress distribution

Field testing demonstrates the base maintains zero through thousands of rounds across multiple calibers. The rigid aluminum construction absorbs recoil forces without flexing, critical for maintaining point of impact consistency in hunting and precision shooting applications. Weather sealing prevents moisture intrusion at the receiver interface, ensuring reliable performance in adverse conditions. Competition shooters report improved group consistency compared to factory mounting solutions.
