Leupold BackCountry Remington 700 1'' 2-pc Med (8-40 Adaptable)

The Leupold BackCountry Remington 700 1" two-piece scope rings are engineered for hunters and long-range shooters who demand lightweight, dependable mounting without compromise. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum, these medium-height rings deliver the rigidity you need to keep zero shift-free while shedding ounces—a serious consideration when every pound matters on a backcountry hunt. The adaptable design accepts both 8-40 and 6-48 screws, making them a versatile fit for Remington 700 long-action receivers, and they'll accommodate any riflescope with a 1-inch maintube.

What sets BackCountry rings apart is the engineering philosophy behind them: maximum strength-to-weight ratio without the bloat. At just 3.2 ounces per pair, these aren't stripped-down compromises—they're precision-built from aerospace-grade aluminum and spec'd to exacting Leupold tolerances. Whether you're glassing alpine basins or running repeating shots at the range, you get the confidence that your scope will track true and hold position through recoil and temperature swings.

The medium ring height positions your scope for optimal cheek weld on most standard Remington 700 setups, and the 1-inch tube diameter remains the gold standard for hunters who prioritize a balanced sight picture and proven light transmission. Installation is straightforward: torque the base screws to 22 in-lbs and the ring tops to 28 in-lbs, and you're ready to zero and hunt.
