The Leupold BackCountry cross-slot rings for 35mm scope tubes in medium matte (part no. 183395) pair a one-piece Picatinny cross-slot base with medium-height rings, balancing minimal weight with secure retention for hunting rifles. Leupold machines the mount from 7075-T6 aluminum, and the system accepts Weaver-style rings for compatibility with either Picatinny or Weaver bases. A milled recoil lug and low-profile keeper screw increase retention under recoil. Among 35mm scope rings for large-tube optics, this BackCountry configuration favors lightweight hunting builds.
