Leupold BackCountry Picatinny Rings, 34 mm

• 7075-T6 aluminum construction: Keeps the rings light without giving up the strength needed for hard field use, helping maintain a practical hunting or precision-rifle setup.
• Cross-slot fit for Picatinny and Weaver-style bases: Gives broader rifle compatibility, so the same 34 mm rings can move between rifles that use common rail standards.
• Milled-in recoil lug: Improves resistance to movement under recoil, which helps the riflescope stay aligned and reduces the chance of losing zero.
• Low-profile keeper screw design: Keeps the mounting system compact and less obtrusive while still providing a secure hold on the rail.
• 34 mm high ring format: Provides the tube diameter needed for larger modern riflescopes while adding the extra height often required for objective clearance and comfortable mounting.

About the Leupold BackCountry Rings Series

Leupold BackCountry Rings sit in the brand’s lightweight hunting-mount segment, built for shooters who want a secure scope-to-rifle connection without adding unnecessary bulk. The series is part of Leupold’s current mount range and is designed around a simple idea: keep the mounting system strong, trim, and practical for field rifles that may be carried far more than they are shot from a bench.

Within the BackCountry family, Leupold offers both rifle-specific ringmounts and cross-slot styles, covering a wide spread of common actions and scope tube diameters. The line includes versions for platforms such as Tikka T-3/T3x, Browning X-Bolt, Weatherby Mark V, and Winchester 70, with options in different heights to suit varying objective sizes and stock geometries. A defining characteristic of the series is its use of 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, chosen to keep weight down while preserving the rigidity expected from a serious riflescope mount. In practice, the BackCountry concept suits hunting rifles, general-purpose sporting rifles, and streamlined precision setups where low mass and dependable alignment matter more than oversized tactical hardware.

About the Leupold BackCountry Picatinny Rings, 34 mm

The Leupold BackCountry Picatinny Rings, 34 mm are built for shooters using a 34 mm maintube riflescope on a Picatinny or Weaver-style rail and who want a mount that stays light without feeling insubstantial. This model uses the BackCountry cross-slot pattern, making it a practical fit for modern bolt-action rifles, chassis rifles, and other rail-equipped platforms where a conventional two-ring setup is preferred over a one-piece mount.

The main advantage of this version is the balance between strength and carry weight. Its 7075-T6 aluminum body keeps mass low at 2.91 oz, which matters on rifles intended for long days in the field or for shooters trying to avoid adding unnecessary weight high above the bore. At the same time, the design includes a milled-in recoil lug to resist movement under recoil, helping the optic remain stable and preserving zero through repeated firing and transport.

The high ring height and 1.07 in ring height specification make this model useful for larger objective scopes or rifles that need extra clearance around the barrel, handguard, or rail. Its 0 MOA base cant keeps the setup neutral, which suits general hunting and standard-distance shooting where no built-in elevation bias is required. The low-profile keeper screw design keeps the rings compact on the rifle, while the cross-slot interface gives flexibility for users running either Picatinny or Weaver-style bases.

About Leupold

Leupold & Volpel was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1907 by Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel. Today, Leupold & Stevens, Inc. is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, United States, and remains a family-owned company focused on sport optics for hunting, shooting, and outdoor use. Its product range covers riflescopes, red dot sights, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders, and thermal optics.

Leupold has long been closely associated with riflescopes and practical field optics. The company introduced its first riflescope, the Plainsman, in 1947, and later introduced the Duplex reticle in 1962, a design that became widely recognized among hunters and shooters. That background is directly relevant to products such as the BackCountry mount line, where the company applies the same emphasis on dependable field use, straightforward design, and compatibility with modern hunting and shooting rifles.
