The Leupold BackCountry 30mm Medium Rings, Browning X-Bolt is a two-piece, matte-finish ringmount made for the Browning X-Bolt (Leupold part no. 171122). Leupold machines the BackCountry series from 7075-T6 aluminum and calls it among its lightest and most rugged mounts. These rings attach directly to the receiver and accept any riflescope with a 30mm main tube. The medium ring height of 1.0 inch suits a 30mm scope on a hunting rifle. At 2.8 ounces for the set, it adds very little to a rifle that gets carried all day.
