Leupold BackCountry 2-Piece Mount Winchester 70 30mm Medium Matte

Description

A scope is only as good as what holds it in place, and the Leupold BackCountry 2-piece mount gives your Winchester Model 70 a mounting setup that stays put through recoil, rough packing, and nasty weather. This is a direct-to-receiver ringmount, meaning the base and rings work as an integrated unit specifically machined for the Model 70, cutting out the ring-to-base connection that can introduce slop over time. It's built for a 30mm maintube scope and sits at a medium height of 0.97 inches from the base to ring center, which gives most standard objective bells clean clearance while keeping your cheek weld natural and consistent.

What Makes the BackCountry Mount Worth Running

Every piece here is machined from 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the same alloy family trusted in demanding applications, so you get serious strength at a featherweight 3 ounces for the set. For anyone building a mountain rifle or a lightweight hunting setup where every ounce you cut off the gun matters, that number adds up fast. The matte black hardcoat anodized finish keeps reflections down and shrugs off the scuffs that come with real backcountry use.

Fit and Installation on the Winchester Model 70

Because this mount attaches directly to the Model 70 receiver, fit is specific to that action, so it's worth confirming your exact rifle before you bolt it on. Installation is straightforward with the low-profile keeper screw design. Leupold calls for 22 in-lbs on the base-to-receiver screws and 28 in-lbs on the ring top screws, and sticking to those torque values is the easiest way to make sure your optic holds zero round after round.

Designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, the BackCountry series carries Leupold's reputation for mounting hardware that just works. It's a clean, no-nonsense choice for Model 70 owners who want their 30mm scope locked down for the long haul.
