Description
The Leupold Standard two-piece base for Remington 700 rifles (part no. 50016) fits both right- and left-hand 700 actions, accepting turn-in style dovetail rings at the front while rear windage screws handle lateral alignment. Leupold forges this base from steel and finishes it in non-reflective matte black, giving a durable, low-profile platform for hunting and range use. The turn-in ring compatibility distinguishes this from the reversible-dovetail RVF version, offering a different mounting interface for shooters who prefer that ring style. Among Remington 700 scope bases, this Standard configuration covers both left- and right-hand actions.
Key Specifications
- The base is constructed from steel, providing a durable support surface for mounted optics.
- The finish is matte black, minimizing glare and reflections in field use.
- The mounting format is two-piece, offering flexibility when aligning a scope on the receiver.
- The base attaches to the receiver, creating a stable platform for long-term optic mounting.
- The forward section accepts a dovetail ring, locking that ring solidly into position for repeatable alignment.
- The rear ring is secured by windage adjustment screws, enabling lateral alignment without using the scope’s internal windage.
- This mount is compatible with turn-in style rings, matching turn-in ring designs for proper fitment.
- The design fits Remington 700 receivers, supporting both right- and left-hand bolt-action rifles.
- Scope rings are not included, so rings must be purchased separately.
