The Leupold 187341 BackCountry cross-slot base for Remington 700 Short Action rifles is built for hunters and shooters who refuse to compromise between weight and durability. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, this one-piece mounting base strips away unnecessary bulk—weighing just 1.75 ounces—while delivering the rugged reliability Leupold is known for. Whether you're glassing from a ridge or setting up for a long-range hunt, a lighter rifle means less fatigue and more time afield.
The 20 MOA cant built into this base is ideal for shooters running heavier magnification optics or pushing shots beyond typical hunting distances. The cross-slot design accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, giving you genuine flexibility when choosing or upgrading your scope setup. Two sets of mounting screws—8-40 and 6-48—come included, so you have the right hardware for your specific ring configuration right out of the box.
Installation is straightforward: torque the base screws to 22 inch-pounds and you're ready to mount your rings and optic. Because this is a Leupold product engineered for the BackCountry line, you get the same precision and attention to detail that serious hunters and long-range shooters have relied on for decades. If you're building or upgrading a Rem 700 Short Action rifle and need a lightweight, no-nonsense mounting platform, this base delivers.

| Weight | 1.75 oz |

This base is designed for Remington 700 Short Action receivers only. If you have a Long Action or another rifle platform, you'll need a different base.
The cross-slot design accepts both Picatinny-style and Weaver-style rings, giving you broad compatibility with most common scope ring options.
Two complete sets of mounting screws come with the base: 8-40 and 6-48. Use the set that matches your ring specification—check your ring documentation to confirm which you need.
The 20 MOA cant tilts the base and your scope upward, extending your effective zero range when shooting heavier magnification optics or shooting at extended distances. This is particularly useful for long-range hunting setups.
