Leupold BackCountry 35mm High Cross-Slot Rings

Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Rings: Lightweight Precision for the Backcountry Hunter

The Leupold BackCountry series represents a thoughtful approach to scope mounting—combining the ruggedness hunters demand with the weight consciousness that matters on long treks into the field.

Design and Construction

These 2-piece cross-slot rings are machined from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the same material trusted in aerospace applications. The cross-slot design provides significantly more contact surface with your rifle's base, translating to exceptional stability without adding unnecessary weight.

Key Features

• 35mm tube compatibility — Designed specifically for 35mm maintubes
• Weaver-style mounting — Accepts standard Weaver and Picatinny bases
• Milled recoil lug — Integrated into the ring design for enhanced strength
• Low-profile keeper screw — Minimizes snag points and reduces overall profile
• Featherweight construction — Just 3.6 ounces for the pair

Why BackCountry Rings Matter

In hunting, every ounce counts. These rings shed unnecessary weight without compromising the rigid, repeatable mounting that modern hunting demands. The cross-slot geometry ensures your scope stays put through recoil and field use, while the aluminum construction resists corrosion in harsh conditions.

For the serious backcountry hunter who refuses to compromise on either performance or pack weight, these rings deliver.
