The Leupold BackCountry cross-slot rings for 1-inch tubes in low matte (part no. 175116) keep the optic close to the rifle for a low sighting plane, well suited to hunting and field applications. Leupold precision-machines the rings from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum for a balance of strength and light weight, and the two-piece cross-slot Weaver-style design increases contact with the base for improved mounting stability. A milled recoil lug and low-profile keeper screw assist secure retention on the rail. Among low-profile scope rings for 1-inch optics, this BackCountry configuration favors a natural, close-to-bore cheek weld.
