The Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Scope Base for Browning X-Bolt 2 LA is a lightweight, aluminum mounting solution engineered for hunters and shooters who demand reliability in the field without sacrificing ounces. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum, this single-piece base weighs just 2.4 ounces—designed for backcountry hunters, mountain hunters, and anyone who counts grams on the trail. It accepts both Picatinny and Weaver-style rings, giving you flexibility in scope selection and future upgrades.
