The Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Base for the Barrett Fieldcraft Short Action (Leupold part no. 175647) is a one-piece, 20 MOA base for a rifle built around the Fieldcraft short action. Leupold makes BackCountry cross-slot bases from 7075-T6 aluminum, which it calls some of its lightest and most rugged mounts yet. The base accepts both Picatinny- and Weaver-style rings. The short-action length is what separates this SKU from the long-action base.
