Description
The Leupold Rifleman Two-Piece Base for the Remington 700 (part no. 55890) puts a proven mounting foundation on the most scoped bolt action in America. Leupold machines the detachable Weaver-style base from aircraft-grade aluminum, cutting weight a steel base would add while holding the alignment that keeps a zero honest between seasons. The low-profile, two-piece design preserves breech access and a natural sighting position. For Remington 700 owners shopping scope bases, this is the light, dependable default.

- The finish is matte black, killing reflections during sighting and field carry.
