What rifles and screw sizes are compatible with the Leupold Backcountry Rail Rem 700 La Matte Adaptable?

This 1-piece rail is specifically engineered for Remington 700 Long Action receivers and compatible clones like certain Bergara long action models. A major advantage of model 187342 is that it includes two full sets of mounting screws, supporting both standard 6-48 threads and heavier-duty 8-40 threads.

Does this rail require any special Australian electrical certifications like SAA or RCM?

No, electrical certifications such as SAA, RCM, or 240V compatibility do not apply to this product. Because it is a purely mechanical firearm accessory, it is exempt from electrical regulations under Australian law.

What scope rings can I use with this cross-slot rail?

The cross-slot profile of this Leupold base accommodates both Picatinny-style and Weaver-style scope rings. For a matched setup using 30mm tubes on a Winchester or Remington platform, it pairs well with accessories like the Leupold Backcountry Ring Mount 30mm.

How does the material construction hold up in harsh Australian outback hunting conditions?

Machined from high-grade 7075-T6 aircraft aluminum, this rail offers significantly greater structural strength than standard 6061 aluminum while weighing a mere 2 ounces. This rugged, recoil-resistant platform handles harsh Australian outback conditions and heavy thermal shifts without warping, making it ideal for mountain and backcountry deer or feral pig hunting.

Remington 700 Rail - Leupold LE187342

The Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Remington 700 LA 1-Piece Matte Base (Model LE187342) provides a stable and highly reliable mounting platform engineered specifically for Remington 700 Long Action (LA) receivers and compatible clones, such as Bergara long-action models. Designed to endure the demanding conditions of the Australian environment, this single-piece rail ensures linear alignment between front and rear scope rings, minimizing stress on your riflescope's main tube and reducing the risk of zero shift. Machined from high-grade 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, it offers exceptional structural integrity and resistance to heavy recoil while keeping weight to an absolute minimum.

Dual Screw Compatibility: Includes two complete sets of mounting screws, both 8-40 and 6-48 sizes. This allows hassle-free installation on older factory receivers with standard threads as well as modern or custom actions requiring heavy-duty 8-40 threads.
High-Grade 7075-T6 Aluminum Construction: Offers significantly greater tensile and structural strength compared to standard 6061 aluminum bases, providing a rigid platform that resists warping.
Ultra-Lightweight Design: Weighs a mere 2 ounces (approximately 56.7 grams), making it an ideal choice for weight-conscious shooters building lightweight hunting setups.
Cross-Slot Versatility: The cross-slot profile accommodates both Picatinny-style and Weaver-style scope rings, offering excellent flexibility in ring selection and eye-relief adjustment.
One-Piece Integrity: Unlike two-piece bases, this single-piece rail guarantees perfect alignment, distributing recoil forces evenly across the receiver.
