The Leupold BackCountry cross-slot one-piece base for Browning X-Bolt long-action rifles with 20 MOA built in (part no. 176397) helps center scope adjustments for extended-range shots, dedicated elevation that most hunting bases don’t offer. Leupold machines this base from 7075-T6 aluminum for a high strength-to-weight ratio, and the cross-slot Picatinny/Weaver rail accepts a wide range of ring options. The matte black finish reduces glare, and the one-piece construction promotes consistent zero retention. Among 20-MOA scope bases for the Browning X-Bolt long action, this BackCountry configuration is built specifically for long-range hunting.
