The Leupold BackCountry scope base for Remington 700 Short Action is built for hunters and shooters who refuse to compromise between weight and strength. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, this one-piece base strips unnecessary ounces without sacrificing the rigidity you need for reliable zero and consistent performance in the field. It's the kind of component that disappears once mounted—doing its job quietly while you focus on the hunt.
What sets the BackCountry base apart is its dual-compatibility design. It comes with two sets of screws (8-40 and 6-48) and accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, so you're not locked into a single ring platform. That flexibility means you can build your optics setup around the rings you prefer or already own, rather than forcing a new purchase. Whether you're mounting a lightweight variable-power hunting scope or a precision long-range optic, you've got options.
At 1.75 ounces, this base is genuinely light—a meaningful savings when you're carrying your rifle through rough country where every ounce adds up. The one-piece design is also stiffer than traditional two-piece bases, which translates to better return-to-zero and more forgiving adjustment if you ever need to remount a scope. Installation is straightforward; Leupold specifies 22 inch-pounds of torque on the receiver screws, a torque value that keeps things secure without over-tightening aluminum.
| Material | 7075-T6 Aluminum |
| Configuration | One-Piece |
| Cant | None |
| Weight | 1.75 oz |
| Receiver Screw Torque | 22 in-lbs |
| Ring Compatibility | Picatinny and Weaver |
| Includes | Two sets of mounting screws (8-40 and 6-48) |
This base is designed for Remington 700 Short Action rifles. If you have a long action or a different receiver type, you'll need a different base.
Both are common mounting standards for rifle scopes. Picatinny rails have a more refined MIL-STD specification, while Weaver rings are slightly looser but widely compatible. This base accepts either type, so you can use whichever rings you have on hand or prefer.
Different Remington 700 variants and aftermarket actions use different screw sizes. The 8-40 and 6-48 screws accommodate the most common configurations, so you can install the base correctly without hunting for the right hardware.
Yes. At 1.75 ounces, the BackCountry base is built with weight-conscious backcountry hunters in mind. The one-piece design is also stiffer than most two-piece alternatives, which is a bonus for precision shooting.
