Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Picatinny/Weaver Rail

This one-piece mounting rail represents the practical intersection of weight savings and rugged reliability—essential considerations for any serious backcountry hunter or long-range shooter.

Construction & Design

Materials: Machined from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the same material trusted in aerospace applications. This alloy delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio without compromise.

Compatibility: The cross-slot design accommodates both Picatinny and Weaver-style scope rings, giving you flexibility in ring selection and allowing you to use existing equipment.

Elevation Options

Leupold offers this rail in two configurations:

  • Zero Elevation: For shooters who prefer to dial elevation adjustments on their scope turrets
  • 20-MOA Elevation: Pre-angled for extended-range shooting, reducing the number of elevation clicks needed when engaging distant targets

Practical Application

The 20-MOA configuration is particularly valuable for magnum cartridges like the .300 WSM, extending your effective shooting range without exhausting your scope's internal adjustment capability. The lightweight construction means less mass to carry on mountain hunts without sacrificing the rigid platform your rifle demands.

This is a purpose-built component for shooters who understand that precision begins with a solid foundation.
