Leupold BackCountry Picatinny Rail for CVA Cascade SA, 20 MOA

• 20 MOA cant: Built-in inclination preserves more scope elevation for dialing at distance, which is useful when a CVA Cascade short action is set up for longer-range hunting or target work.
• One-piece Picatinny rail: A full-length rail gives flexible ring placement and makes it easier to position the scope correctly for eye relief and balance on different optic sizes.
• BackCountry aluminum construction: The lightweight design keeps unnecessary weight off the rifle while still providing the rigidity needed for a stable optic-to-action interface.
• Picatinny- and Weaver-ring compatibility: Broad ring compatibility simplifies scope selection and future upgrades without changing the base.
• Model-specific fit for CVA Cascade SA: A dedicated short-action footprint helps ensure proper alignment and a clean installation, reducing compromise compared with universal mounting solutions.

About the Leupold BackCountry Bases Series

Leupold BackCountry Bases sit in the company’s lightweight hunting-mount range and are intended for shooters who want a strong, simple mounting platform without adding unnecessary bulk to the rifle. Within Leupold’s mount lineup, the BackCountry family focuses on practical field use: low mass, solid machining, and model-specific fitment for common sporting actions.

Leupold describes the series as machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, a material choice that helps keep weight down while maintaining the stiffness needed for dependable scope support. In the cross-slot versions, the design accepts Picatinny- and Weaver-style rings, which gives the series broad compatibility across hunting optics and tactical optics. The range includes both zero-elevation and 20-MOA variants, so shooters can choose between a straightforward general-purpose setup and a canted base better suited to longer-range dialing. The result is a mount family built around clean integration, low carried weight, and the flexibility to match different rifles and shooting distances.

About the Leupold BackCountry Picatinny Rail for CVA Cascade SA, 20 MOA

The Leupold BackCountry Picatinny Rail for CVA Cascade SA, 20 MOA is a dedicated one-piece mounting base for the CVA Cascade short action. Its main advantage is the combination of a full-length cross-slot rail and 20 MOA of built-in cant. In practice, that cant shifts the scope’s mechanical starting point so more upward elevation remains available, which is especially useful when pairing the rifle with a scope intended for longer shots.

The one-piece rail format also adds flexibility that many hunters and precision shooters appreciate. Because the mounting slots run along the rail, ring spacing can be adjusted more freely than with fixed two-piece bases, making it easier to accommodate different scope tube lengths, turret housings, and eye-relief requirements. That is particularly helpful when moving between compact hunting scopes and larger optics with longer mounting footprints.

Aluminium construction keeps the base light at 48.00 g, so it supports a practical field rifle setup without adding much mass above the receiver. The black finish gives it a subdued appearance that matches most rifles and scope rings. Just as important, the rail is compatible with Picatinny Rail ring systems and also fits rings built to the Weaver-style cross-slot pattern, giving the rifle owner more freedom when selecting mounts. Overall, this base is aimed at shooters who want a clean, model-specific mounting solution with the added elevation bias needed for stretching the CVA Cascade SA farther downrange.

About Leupold

Leupold & Volpel was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1907 by Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel. The company later expanded into sporting optics and introduced its first riflescope, the Plainsman, in 1947. In 1962, Leupold introduced the Duplex reticle, a design that became widely recognized in hunting optics for its fast, practical sight picture.

Leupold & Stevens, Inc. is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, United States, and remains family-owned. Its product range covers riflescopes, red dot sights, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders, and thermal optics, with a strong focus on hunting, shooting, and outdoor use. That long involvement in both optics and mounting systems is relevant here: Leupold builds mounts to complement the same field conditions its sighting products are designed to handle.
