The Leupold BackCountry one-piece cross-slot base for Savage 10 round-receiver short-action rifles with a 20-MOA slope (part no. 171337) pairs with 10-round receivers to provide a dependable platform for precision optics while minimizing added weight. Leupold machines the base from 7075-T6 aluminum, and the cross-slot Picatinny pattern accepts both Picatinny- and Weaver-style rings for flexible eye-relief placement. The matte black finish keeps the mount low-profile. Among 20-MOA scope bases for Savage round-receiver rifles, this BackCountry configuration is built for long-range setups.
