The Leupold 60760 Dual Dovetail Base Set provides precision mounting for riflescopes on Kimber 8400 rifles. This two-piece base system maintains the rifle's sleek profile while delivering the rock-solid foundation needed for consistent shot placement.
What Makes This Different
Leupold's dual dovetail design distributes mounting stress across a wider contact area than single-piece bases. The precision-machined aluminum construction maintains exact tolerances that prevent scope shift under recoil. Each base undergoes CNC machining to match Kimber's receiver specifications, ensuring proper alignment without gunsmithing modifications.
Key Features
- Two-piece aluminum construction for reduced weight and enhanced rigidity
- Matte black finish resists corrosion and eliminates glare
- Precision dovetail cuts machined to 0.0005-inch tolerances
- Kimber 8400 specific fitment requires no receiver modifications
- Compatible with standard 1-inch and 30mm Leupold rings
- Windage adjustment capability through ring positioning
- Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction
Field performance depends on maintaining zero through temperature changes, moisture exposure, and repeated firing cycles. The aluminum base material expands at the same rate as the rifle receiver, preventing thermal stress that can shift point of impact. Hunters report consistent accuracy across temperature ranges from sub-zero mountain hunts to desert conditions exceeding 100°F.
