The Leupold BackCountry one-piece cross-slot base for Sauer 202 short-action rifles with a 20-MOA slope (part no. 171356) helps recover elevation for extended-range shots without additional optics adjustment on that premium European action. Leupold machines the 6.3-inch base from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, combining minimal weight with high structural strength. The cross-slot design accepts both Picatinny- and Weaver-style rings, and the matte black finish reduces reflective glare during daylight field use. Among Sauer-specific scope bases, this BackCountry configuration is built for that action’s precision-hunting role.
