The Leupold 65416 Standard Base transforms your Browning X-Bolt rifle into a precision platform ready for serious optics mounting. This two-piece aluminum base system provides the rock-solid foundation needed for consistent scope performance across thousands of rounds.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic aftermarket bases, Leupold's Standard Base undergoes precision machining to exact tolerances that match factory receiver specifications. The proprietary aluminum alloy construction delivers 40% greater clamping force than standard steel bases while weighing significantly less. Each base set includes hardened steel screws torqued to exact specifications, eliminating the scope shift that plagues inferior mounting systems.
