Leupold BackCountry Remington 700 30mm 2-pc High (8-40 Adaptable)

The Leupold BackCountry Remington 700 30mm 2-piece high ring mount is engineered for hunters and long-range shooters building a lightweight, durable scope setup on Remington 700 long-action receivers. Built from 7075-T6 aluminum—the same material trusted in aircraft structures—these adaptable rings deliver exceptional strength without the heft that slows you down in the field. Whether you're glassing from a ridge or working a remote drainage, every ounce matters, and at just 3.3 ounces, BackCountry mounts let your rifle stay nimble.

These two-piece rings accept any riflescope with a 30mm maintube and come equipped with both 8-40 and 6-48 fastening options, giving you flexibility to match your receiver's existing recoil lug and top-receiver screw holes. High-profile construction gives you the clearance needed for larger objective lenses and co-mounted red dots without obstruction. Set-and-forget reliability is built in: the engineering tolerances and torque specs are dialed in by Leupold, so once you dial it in at the bench, you can trust it to hold zero through the season.

If you're upgrading an existing Remington 700 or assembling a new build, these mounts bridge the gap between economy hardware and overkill premium setups. They're proof that lightweight doesn't mean compromise—just smart materials and proven design working together.
