Leupold BackCountry 1-Piece Base, Weatherby Mark V, 20 MOA

The Leupold BackCountry one-piece cross-slot base for the Weatherby Mark V and Vanguard long action with 20 MOA (part no. 171355) provides built-in drop compensation for extended-range shooting on that long-action platform. Leupold machines the base from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum to minimize weight while retaining alignment strength, and the one-piece cross-slot construction increases rigidity and preserves zero under recoil. The base accepts Picatinny- and Weaver-style rings, sold separately. Among 20 MOA scope bases for the Weatherby Mark V, this BackCountry configuration favors long-range hunting and precision work.
