Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot 1-Piece Scope Base Matte Black Aluminum - Savage 110 Short Action

The Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot base (part 187344) is a 1-piece scope mounting platform precision-machined from lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum and finished in matte black. Purpose-built for the Savage 110 Short Action round receiver, this base delivers a rigid, repeatable mounting interface for precision scope installations.

The Cross-Slot footprint accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, offering broad compatibility with the most popular ring systems on the market today. Each base ships with two sets of mounting screws - 8-40 and 6-48 - to fit Savage 110 short-action variants produced both before and after the 2021 pattern change, eliminating the need to source separate hardware.

Weighing just 1.8 oz, the BackCountry base adds minimal weight to the rifle while maintaining the rigidity needed for consistent scope retention. Leupold specifies a torque of 22 in-lbs for the mounting screws to ensure a secure, stress-free installation. Whether used on a hunting rifle, precision build, or general-purpose Savage 110, this BackCountry base provides a dependable foundation for your optic.
