Leupold BackCountry Rings, 30 mm for Kimber 8400

• Direct Kimber 8400 fit: This two-piece ringmount attaches straight to the rifle receiver, so a 30 mm riflescope can be mounted without adding a separate rail and extra bulk.
• 30 mm scope compatibility: The ring diameter suits modern hunting optics with larger maintubes, giving access to a wide choice of scopes while keeping the mounting system simple and secure.
• Aluminum construction: The lightweight metal build helps keep overall rifle weight under control, which matters on mountain rifles and any setup carried for long periods.
• 0 MOA alignment: With no built-in cant, the mount is well suited to general hunting and field rifles where a straightforward, level scope installation is preferred.
• Medium ring height: The 9 mm height helps position the scope low over the bore for a natural cheek weld while still providing practical clearance for many 30 mm hunting scopes.

About the Leupold BackCountry Rings Series

Leupold BackCountry Rings sit in the brand’s lightweight mounting range for hunters and shooters who want a clean, rifle-specific installation without unnecessary mass. The series includes ringmount versions for both 1-inch and 30 mm scope tubes, with rifle-specific footprints that attach directly to compatible receivers instead of relying on a separate cross-slot rail. That approach keeps the setup compact and reduces the number of parts between rifle and optic.

Within the BackCountry family, Leupold offers different ring heights, including medium and high, so the mount can be matched to scope size and preferred stock fit. The series is built around 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, a material choice that supports low carry weight while maintaining the rigidity expected from a hunting mount. BackCountry ringmounts are part of Leupold’s broader mount lineup and are offered for a range of popular rifle actions, making the series especially relevant for practical hunting rifles where low weight, direct fit, and straightforward installation matter more than modular rail space.

About the Leupold BackCountry Rings, 30 mm for Kimber 8400

The Leupold BackCountry Rings, 30 mm for Kimber 8400 are designed for shooters who want a simple, low-mass way to mount a scope on a compatible Kimber action. Because this is a two-piece ringmount, it bolts directly to the receiver and accepts any riflescope with a 30 mm maintube. That makes it a sensible match for modern hunting optics while avoiding the added height and extra interfaces that come with a separate base-and-ring combination.

The practical advantage of this model is its balance between fit, weight, and scope position. Its medium 9 mm ring height helps keep the optic close to the bore, which can improve cheek weld and make the rifle feel more natural when mounting quickly in the field. The aluminum construction keeps the mount light, an important detail on rifles intended for stalking, mountain hunting, or any use where overall carry weight matters. With 0 MOA inclination, the mount is configured for straightforward sight-in and general-purpose shooting rather than specialized long-range cant compensation. The result is a mount that suits a clean hunting build: direct-fit, compact, and focused on holding a 30 mm scope securely on a Kimber 8400-pattern rifle.

About Leupold

Leupold & Volpel was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1907 by Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel. The company later became Leupold & Stevens, Inc. and is now headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, United States. It remains family-owned and focuses on sport optics for hunting, shooting, and outdoor use.

Leupold is especially well known for riflescopes, with product families that include the VX-series for sporting use and the Mark-series for tactical applications. Its wider catalog also covers red dot sights, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders, and thermal optics. In the riflescope category, two notable milestones were the introduction of the Plainsman in 1947, the company’s first riflescope, and the Duplex reticle in 1962, which became one of the most recognized reticle patterns in sporting optics. That long focus on optics and mounting systems makes Leupold a natural fit for rifle-specific scope mounts such as the BackCountry series.
