Leupold STD Two-Piece base, Remington 700

• STD rotary dovetail system: The front ring pivots into the base while the rear windage screws allow lateral alignment during bore sighting, helping achieve a centered setup without using up the scope's internal adjustment range.
• Two-piece steel construction: A separate front and rear base keeps the mounting system compact and strong, giving the action more open access while maintaining a stable platform for hunting optics.
• Built for Remington 700-pattern rifles: This base is designed around the Remington 700 footprint and also fits a broad list of compatible actions, making it a practical choice for common bolt-action builds and replacements.
• No built-in cant: The flat base profile suits general-purpose zeroing and standard-distance shooting, keeping the mounting geometry straightforward for conventional riflescope setups.
• Made in USA steel: The steel body adds rigidity and wear resistance at the critical connection point between rifle and optic, which matters for repeatable zero and long service life.

About the STD Series

Leupold STD mounts are the company's traditional Standard rotary dovetail system, developed for shooters who want a strong steel mounting solution with broad rifle compatibility and a straightforward installation concept. In Leupold's lineup, the STD family sits as a classic option for hunting rifles and general sporting use, especially where a low-profile base and proven mechanical layout are preferred over quick-detach or tactical rail systems.

The defining feature of the series is its front dovetail engagement paired with rear windage adjustment screws. In practice, this gives the installer some lateral correction at the mount itself during bore sighting, which can help preserve more of the riflescope's internal windage and elevation travel for actual zeroing or later trajectory dialing. STD bases are offered in one-piece and two-piece forms and are designed to work with STD rings in multiple heights, so the system can be adapted to many common hunting optics. The emphasis is on durable steel construction, secure ring-to-base engagement, and a mounting layout that has remained relevant because it solves practical field needs without unnecessary complexity.

About the Leupold STD Two-Piece base, Remington 700

The Leupold STD Two-Piece base, Remington 700 is a classic steel mounting base for rifles built on the Remington 700 pattern. Its two-piece layout leaves the ejection port and top of the action more open than a one-piece base, which many shooters prefer on bolt-action hunting rifles because it preserves access for loading, unloading, and cleaning while keeping overall weight and bulk down.

What makes this model especially useful is the way it works within the STD rotary dovetail system. The front ring seats in a dovetail and rotates into position, while the rear ring uses windage screws for side-to-side alignment. That arrangement is more than a mechanical detail: it can help correct small alignment issues at the mount, making it easier to bore sight the scope and reducing the need to push the optic's internal adjustments far off center. For a practical field rifle, that can mean a cleaner zeroing process and more adjustment range left in reserve.

The base is made from steel, with no built-in cant, so it suits conventional riflescope installations for standard-distance hunting and sporting use. Leupold also positions this Remington 700 version as a good fit for standard calibers below .300 Win. Mag. Combined with compatibility across several Remington 700-footprint rifles, it is a sensible choice for shooters who want a traditional, low-profile base with proven geometry and dependable hold.

About Leupold

Leupold & Volpel was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1907 by Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel. The company later expanded its optics focus and introduced its first riflescope, the Plainsman in 1947, establishing a long connection with American hunting and shooting optics. Leupold moved its manufacturing plant and headquarters to Beaverton in 1968, and Leupold & Stevens, Inc. is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, United States.

The company is family-owned and develops sport optics for hunting, shooting, and outdoor use. Its range includes riflescopes, red dot sights, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders, and thermal optics. Within riflescopes, Leupold is especially well known for VX-series hunting models and Mark-series tactical optics, as well as for introducing the Duplex reticle in 1962, a design that became a reference point for practical field reticles.
