Leupold 50018 Standard Base 2-Piece Reversible Front Matte Black - Remington 700

The Leupold 50018 Standard Base is a rugged 2-piece scope mounting base engineered specifically for the Remington 700 rifle, with the same footprint also fitting the Remington 721, 725, and 40X actions. Machined from forged steel and finished in non-reflective Matte Black, this base provides the rock-solid foundation that Leupold ring sets need to keep a riflescope locked in position under repeated recoil.

The 2-piece configuration uses a standard front and rear base pair with a reversible front arrangement for clean installation on the appropriate receiver hole pattern. Leupold specifies a 22 in-lbs torque on the base-to-receiver screws and 45 in-lbs on the windage screws. The base weighs approximately 2.8 oz and attaches directly to the receiver; rings are sold separately.

Purpose-built to mount a scope on a Remington 700 pattern action, this Standard Base is a trusted choice for hunters, long-range shooters, and anyone building a precision rig around the venerable 700 platform. Pair it with the appropriate height Leupold rings for your scope's objective diameter to complete the setup.
